NEW: Swiss Volleyball League 2012/2013


    will Ana Grbac stay in Volero, I am asking because they signed with Živković.

    Volley Koeniz' coach Dirk Gross leaves the club an joins the german club Rote Raben Vilsbiburg. There, he will be responsible for the 2nd team (2. Bundesliga) as well as for the young talents that join the training base of the national federation in Vilsbiburg.


    Köniz has not yet announced the new coach, but seems to have three interesting options.

    Maria Bertelli renewed her contract for an extra season. Izabela Kozon (POL) and Sabel Moffett (USA) will join Volley Köniz for the upcoming season.

    Drahoslav Greso is the new coach of TSV Jona


    Liesl Tesch (Green Bax Phoenix), that was announced at VBC Val-de-Travers (NLB) has finally disclaimed for personal reasons. On the contrary, Irene Hester (Texas Christian University) and Alyssa Meuth (Alabama Crimson Tide) will join the Swiss club for the upcoming season.


    Femke Vautier (Genève Volley) might boost VBC Cossonay.

    Bronze medalist at the European championship in 2005 Olga Sazhina extended contract with Swiss Volero Zurich. Last season, Sazhina won the Swiss cup and championship and was eliminated at the Playoff Six in the CEV Champions League.

    Airial Salvo won’t play anymore with Sagres Neuchatel UC. In the future she should give more time to her family and prefer shorter championships.


    On the contrary, Bryn Kehoe should renew for an extra season. Both the team and Kehoe already approved the terms of the contract.


    On their side Sabine Frey, Sara Schüpbach, Charlotte Bättig and Valentina Bevilacqua already renewed for an extra season.


    At the end, NUC is glad to welcome Anabela Satarić that will share Bevilacqua’s role as the 2nd setter.

    As already reported Kristin Kelly and Brianna Barry renewed with VFM and Devon Sutherland turns back the the States.


    Today, Le Quotidien Jurassien announced that Tara Hittle, Taylor Carico, Emily Day and Jillian Baker would leave VFM as well.


    Does anyone know something about Whitney Dosty (or any other player that might play in Switzerland)? I think that she’s in touch with VFM.

    Lauren Kellerman (Lugano, NLB) won't play at all next season. :down:




    Emma Preston (Steinhausen, NLB) is actually from New Zealand. I don't know if she is staying but she wasn't in the starting six, anyway.

    Quote from joanamss

    Interesting...let us know when you find out :)


    Well, I was counting on you to give us the answer ;)


    He won't be the only Brazilian coach in Switzerland next season given that Pedro Carolino will be coaching VBC Biel-Bienne.


    You also probably know Romeu Beltramelli Filho that was VFM's coach during the 2005/2006 season. He was very successful with Brazilian Junior teams and coached a few male and female clubs in Superliga as well.


    Carlos De Assis coached VBC Cheseaux during the 2001/2002 season..
