Series A3 Credem Banca
The 13 teams of the White Group
Negrini CTE Acqui Terme
Negrini CTE is the first team of Pallavolo La Bollente, a men’s volleyball club in the city of Acqui Terme. Born in 2012, after three seasons in Serie B in the 2022/23 season comes the historic milestone of winning the Serie B Italian Cup and promotion to Serie A3. A very important milestone not only for the company, but for the entire province. Negrini CTE, led by coach Mauro Rizzo, is the highest level Alessandria team. To best address the category, with the final aim of maintaining it in the years to come, a roster has been set up which includes the confirmation of a good part of last season’s players, to which experienced reinforcements and promising young players have been added. The company and the municipal administration have also entered into a collaboration agreement with the city of Valenza which provides for the use of the Sports Hall for home matches, as the Acqui Terme one does not currently have the required requirements. La Bollente Volleyball is ready to face the Serie A Credem Banca championship at its best and with a lot of enthusiasm, for the first time in its history.
Belluno Volleyball
The third season in a row on the stage of Serie A3 Credem Banca del Belluno Volley is marked by innovations. Compared to last year, in fact, nine elements of the roster have changed: starting from the opposite and bomber, Fabio Bisi, called to drag the group along with his attacks and his example. Not surprisingly, he was elected captain. There are also new features in the spikers department, enriched by the Polish Bucko (who previously played in the Italian top flight, in Verona) and by a twenty-two year old who has done wonders with the youth national teams, like Schiro, while the Italian-Cuban Reyes, arrived from Parma, he will miss part of the season due to an ankle injury suffered in pre-season. The libero is also new: Simone Orto, fresh from the Under 19 championship in Ravenna, flanked by Fraccaro, a boy promoted from the academy.

Starting from the main structure, led by coach Marco Marzola, DS Piero Pedretti has developed a competitive squad capable of giving their opponents in the White group of the Serie A3 Credem Banca a hard time, starting on October 15th. After the “yes” from the technical staff, the confirmations came from libero Davide Brunetti, called upon again to defend the second line and eager to do well given the unfortunate misadventure that struck him last year, from the Modenese hammer Marco Maletti, a revelation of last season, and by the young Bolognese opposite Davide Donati. For the rest of the team, the story is yet to be written.
Brugherio Chemical Range
Youth and ambition. Gamma Chimica Brugherio is ready for its fifth season in Serie A3 Credem Banca where it will present itself, once again, with the youngest squad in the entire championship. Massive investment in its youth sector: 13 out of 15 are Pink Devil athletes.

We will also see spikers Ichino and Consonni again in the Gamma Chimica shirt.
CUS Cagliari
After last year’s Play Off victory, CUS Cagliari is ready to make its debut in Serie A3. A project, the rossoblù one, which has one of the most thriving youth sectors on the island behind it and which sees this season as a new starting point. Coach Ammendola’s roster, confirmed after the promotion, has been renewed with some additions: spikers Marinelli have arrived from OmiFer Palmi, Busch from the Polish league, Miselli from a US college, the setter Kindgard, and the young center back Ambrose from Cucine Lube Civitanova.

Completing the squad is the young center back Sanna, a product of the youth sector of the university club. A deep squad with the right mix of youth and experience, which will allow the coach to safely rely on the 14 athletes he has at his disposal and entertain the public in hard-fought and breathtaking challenges.
Moyashi Garlasco
After having played in the first round of the Play Offs last season, Moyashi Garlasco reaches their third year in Serie A Credem Banca. They are preparing to face the championship with a completely renewed team: in fact, only three are confirmed in the squad.

This year too, the technical guide of the team will be Vittorio Bertini, with assistant coach Federico Moro.
Gabbiano Mantova
Mantua, land of players and coaches, had been missing from Serie A since the 2010/11 season. Mantua volleyball was waiting for this moment after a couple of seasons where the goal was only missed on the pitch. Serie A3 comes as a no-go for Gabbiano Mantova, but deserved for the work done over the years, in which there have been very few defeats. The work of the club, technical staff and team has received its just reward, and now all we can think about is returning to being protagonists in great volleyball. There is a lot of curiosity about an unknown tournament because it is quite new and faced for the first time.
Stadium Mirandola
“Awareness and hunger for victory”, these are the key words to define the guidelines for next season for the new captain Riccardo Rustichelli.

Important names who have gained experience in the upper division who are joined by the new players: Matteo Bortolozzo from Prata, Riccardo Mazzon and Mattia Catone from Bergamo and Andrea Bulfon from Ortona. The only confirmation is that of libero Sebastiano Santi. However, in this new Pallavolo Motta we also talk about dreams come true such as that of Samuele Lazzaro, second libero from minivolley to the first team, or Matteo Mazzotti, who succeeds in his leap in quality from Serie B to Serie A3.
Wimore Salsomaggiore Terme
It will be a profoundly renewed Wimore Salsomaggiore Terme that will present itself at the starting line of the national Serie A3 Credem Banca championship for the second consecutive season. The yellow-blue team, which, due to the unavailability of the PalaRaschi, from this year will play its home matches at the Palazzetto dello Sport in Salsomaggiore Terme, has been entrusted to coach Alberto Raho, who can already boast considerable experience, in multiple guises , both in the international and youth fields, and will lead a heterogeneous squad made up of elements experienced in the category and many rookies.

The confirmations of the new captain Bassanello, of Umek and Trevisiol, together with the young Parisi and Tuis, have certified the desire to build a competitive roster while maintaining an important backbone. They were joined by Stefano Giannotti, an opposite of national caliber who boasts five seasons in the SuperLega and the same number in A2. On the dribble the new face will be Calogero Tulone, who last year achieved access to the Play Offs with Aurispa Libellula Lecce, exiting in the Quarter Finals against Tuscania.

Led by coach Lorenzo Simeon, in fact, the biancobù achieved a historic access to the Quarter Finals of the Italian Cup, followed, a few months later, by an exceptional fourth place in the Regular Season in the White Group, with attached qualification for the Play Offs promotion. In the year now upon us, the company has opted for continuity on the bench, confirming Simeon as technical guide, assisted by Matteo Brignone. The main changes, however, concerned the pitch, between farewells and new arrivals. The control room is completely new, entrusted to the expert Matteo Pistolesi and Andrea Carlevaris, who has already tasted the A3 Series in Turin.
