Therefore, our student-athletes will attend training in the morning with our professional academy, while in the afternoon and evenings they will have the chance to train with a local club. The season for the Italian clubs begins at the end of August and it continues through the beginning of May. Official games are played once a week, either on Saturday or Sunday.

OUR HEAD COACH

Djordje Novakovic

Djordje was born in Serbia and has been playing volleyball since he was a child. He graduated with a major in Sport Studies and a minor in Psychology from Trinity College in the US. After studying, playing, and coaching volleyball in the States, he decided to pursue a Master’s Degree in Sports Management & Coaching at Rome City Institute where he became a licensed volleyball coach in Italy and Europe.

Djordje relocated to Rome and became head coach of our volleyball academy in July 2024.

Italian Excellence

Playing abroad means learning a new dimension of the game and adapting to a different style. Volleyball is one of the most popular sports in Italy, it remains one of its trademark sports. 

Italian excellence refers to the golden generation of the 1990s, which dominated Europe and the world. The current Italian generation has just won a World Cup and a European Championship. 

On top of this, Italy has been focused on the development of young talent in recent years. This was highlighted in the summer of 2022 where both male and females from the age groups of U22 to U17 won 8 gold medals in the European championships and two gold medals at the EYOF.
