Quote from Sentenza_69

San Donà is not "the" Imoco youth club...

It's one of its youth clubs, part of the Imoco NEXT-GEN project...

Some clubs are managed directly by IMOCO, others through affiliate programs, and are spread throughout Italy...

True but to be specific San Donà kinda is "the" Imoco youth club, they share the federation code which is why they can bring directly players from there to the main team during the season without transfer.

Quote from serdar

Isn't adigwe from crema, omoruyi from Milano and club Italia, Marchesini from Modena, Battista from Bergamo?

You mean san dona as their youth club right?

Adigwe, Omoruyi and Battista started in those clubs and moved to San Donà while very young. Anderlini Modena is still one of the clubs under Imoco group but anyway Marchesini also moved to San Donà. Club Italia is a different thing, the players are "loaned" for the season but are still under their club and play there for youth tournaments.

Quote from serdar

Forte isn't even in their 14 player roster though.

Munarini counts, but only one player from their own academy (as 4th MB) proves how much bullshit that guy claimed in his interview

Adigwe is also from their youth team, and a good chunk of the players of younger generation (like born 2002 and after) both in A1 and A2 are coming through their youth program. Just out of this year senior NT calls Fersino, Adigwe, Eze, Omoruyi, Marchesini, Frosini, Eckl, Battista are coming from their youth team + Manfredini from an affiliate (Anderlini)

I'm not sure the gray to Chieri was ever a real thing, there were rumors going around Chieri was getting someone off LOVB so there was speculation it was her but according to the latest rumors it should be Eggleston

Quote from fire_erik_sullivan

voulter do you know if there's any info available on which/when Italian U19-23 (or whichever age groups) will be scrimmaging with ncaa teams this summer

FIPAV used to publish it but i dont see anything from a quick search on their website

Do you know how long are they staying? There's no info so far, but only the u22 is training at the moment, next week there's going to be the u18 club championship so the other age groups will start later. Probably there's going to be more info when they announce next u22 camp (likely by the weekend)

Quote from Zengo

When is Fahr expected to join them? I thought it was only her who will catch up?

Fahr I think from the second week, for Egonu/Orro/Danesi/Sylla he talked about two months off so probably by the end of june/early July they will be back with the national team

Quote from denzz

Jehlarova to Consolini?

I think they announced her by mistake on their website lol https://volleysangiovanni.it/la-squadra.html

Quote from Hassan Kadem

Her younger sister will also be studying somewhere in the US and their mom works in LA so I guess this was bound to happen sooner or later

I think you may be thinking of someone else, her mom is coaching a youth team in italy this season I doubt she's commuting from LA for that

Quote from bolt

Correct me if I'm wrong but from the translation it sounds like Ortolani is announcing her retirement? she said she was supposed to quit back in 2021...

She has been announced by another A2 team (Imola) for next season, it was just a goodbye to San Giovanni

Quote from SR71

Jatzko is back to playing for an A2 team. Does anyone know how long her contract with that team? wasn't she rumored to Polish league?

It's just for the end of this season not the next

Quote from Phoenix

Wada to Busto acc to ivolley

And Obossa to Toray Arrows

Nwakalor also got hurt today, something with her shoulder

Quote from Steven12453

Maybe it has to do with Straube's decision to leave Consolini.... Maja was injured and they signed Straube. It make sense.

Transfers aren't allowed anymore (for the league)

Quote from Matthias

Any info about Ognjenovic? She's not even in the roster today. Also for Bergamo Eze is still absent after her ankle injury so it's the battle of backup setters.

On the Italian comment they just said she hurt her hand during yesterday's training on a blocking action

Quote from Sando23

Can someone tell me what exactly playoff challenge is supposed to be? Maybe Straube thinks a bit of rest is needed after a tough season.

Winner of the playoffs gets the challenge cup spot

Quote from Russia13

How can her first federation be Italian if she was registered in youth tournaments by Romania?

https://www-old.cev.eu/PlayerD…onType=&G=&PlayerID=99347

She never was in the final roster for any of those competitions anyways, so she would still be allowed to change federation anyways under the new rules, I think she was called and never showed up exactly for this reason (as Antropova did)

Quote from serdar

Thanks for your comment! Has Antropova ever played as receiver? If so how good (or how bad🤣) is she compared to known offensive OHs?

She played a few games as OH on her first season in scandicci, it was like not necessarily terrible for someone of her size/age who had just switched from opp to oh but obviously not good. At this point we're talking about 4 years ago and I doubt she has trained her passing all that much in the meanwhile so yeah I don't think there'd be the margin to make it work at the moment as a stable solution, maybe as an "impact" sub in certain situations to shake things up at best but even that is questionable imo

No Scandicci is already 2nd, even if milano wins 3-0 they get equal in points but scandicci has more wins

Quote from Matthias

Well actually she was holding her knee when she was lying on the ground but looking at the replay again she did twist her ankle landing on Tolok's foot

To me it looked like Tolok landed on her

Quote from alvaro

no shade to cambi but why did they not send de gennaro instead? it's understandable that she isn't known. same for porro? or whoever that is from the men's side

I think they just called whoever was the closest to Milan, it's the only reason I can see for cambi being there lol

Quote from fire_erik_sullivan

does scandicci even have a youth team? lol

Yes but it's kinda mid
