Corigliano is completing the phase of athletic preparation after three weeks of pre-season. “We are working hard and we’re focused – said athletic trainer Ditano – the players are aware that in this period it is important to give it all in order to be physically fine in the future”.

Australian Smith should join the group in the coming week while the fans will have to wait a bit more before seeing Netherlander spiker Van Garderen, on duty with his national team. “Now we’re waiting for the friendly games to get things going on court” said coach Jeliazkov. The team will take part in two tournaments in the next two weekend.
