20.10.2008 - GIANI GOES TO THE U.S TO ENTER THE HALL OF FAME. TRAINING MATCH AGAINST FRIEDRICHSHAFEN SCHEDULED FOR WEDNESDAY
Andrea Giani is leaving Italy tomorrow, flying from Milan to the U.S. Trenkwalder Modena's head coach, who will be accompanied by Pallavolo Modena Marketing Manager Johnny Poppi, will enter the illustrious "Volleyball Hall of Fame", which celebrates the greatest volleyball players worldwide. On Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th Andrea Giani, who is an icon of Italian and international volleyball, will be granted this honour, which only goes to those who have shaped the history of volleyball. The documents compiled by the Hall of Fame panel read: "...Giani has been the most adaptable player in this era of specialisation...", says Doug Beal, co-chair of the committee which selects the Volleyball Hall of Fame members. The Hall of Fame is located in Holyoke, Massachusettes, where William G. Morgan invented volleyball in 1895 at Holyoke YMCA 8. Andrea Giani is the second Italian player to enter the Hall of Fame after Andrea Gardini, who entered last year. Giani will be back in Italy on Friday evening and on Saturday he will be at Palasport Panini, getting ready for next Sunday's match in Piacenza.

TRENKWALDER MODENA GUEST AT INTERAUTO MERCEDES BENZ IN MODENA TOMORROW (FRIDAY). The whole team of Trenkwalder Volleyball will be hosted by Interauto (prestigious business partner of Modena Volleyball), official Mercedes Benz dealer in Modena (280 Via Cavani, Zona Villa Freto) tomorrow afternoon, Friday the 17th of October, 2008 at 6.30 pm. Gialloblù athletes and staff will have a drink offered by Interauto on the occasion of the official presentation of the new Class GLK, the new Mid-Luxury SUV Mercedes Benz. TRENKWALDER-SISLEY ON SATURDAY AT PALASPORT G. PANINI. SIDAO AND RINALDI SPEAKING Modena-Treviso is coming. Trenkwalder Modena-Sisley Treviso, the derby of Italy arrived at its 94th edition, will be played on Saturday at PalaPanini. It's a match with a special appeal, an enormous challenge between great champions and it's a match that raffles off precious points to stay in the upper part of the classification. And for Trenkwalder it's the first match of a series of "terrible ones": after Treviso, Modena will face two away matches in a row in Piacenza and Cuneo before playing against Trento at home. This morning we met up with libero Pietro Rinaldi and Brasilian central Sidao in the home of the Giallobù. "These first matches of the championship - expert libero Pietro Rinaldi emphasises in his second season with Gialloblù - showed a young team, with a strong motivation and a lot of quality. We're working so hard, we're giving everything during the training because we want to show Modena that we can play an important championship. The team has a lot of character this year, I'm happy to tell you that we're really a team, we always help eachother and I have to say Giani and his staff are doing a great job. Treviso? Playing Modena-Treviso is always very nice. They're very good though, they come from a defeat and they'll surely feel like coming back. I repeat, also on Saturday we will give everything! The comeback of Ricardinho? I get on with him very well and I realise he's an extremely good player. But on Saturday he's an opponent: we'll make jokes after the match, in the field we'll do everything to beat him." Sidnei Dos Santos Junior is in his third season in Modena. He was one of the big stars in the first three matches: 9 blocks, 6 aces, energetic and strong, and working together with Travica better every day. "Trenkwalder has a constant incentive this year: it gets better every day - Sidao says with his usual enthusiasm - We know we have the potential to improve: I like this group of guys who always want to help eachother out and give something extra. The match against Treviso will be a difficult one: Sisley is amongst the strongest in the championship, you can't put in doubt that they're good. Although we want to try, we are energetic and we have to aim at winning always. I haven't heard from Ricardo these days - Sidao continues - He's a very good guy and a very good player. I saw the Sisley match on tv and it's clear he's integrated well. We'll have to do everything to make things difficult for them in the game." PRESALES. The Trenkwalder Modena-Sisley Treviso presales of next Saturday, the 18th of October, at 6.30 pm (live on Sky Sport) are proceeding steadily. Tickets for the match are available through all branches of the Banca Popolare dell'Emilia Romagna and the offices of Palasport Giuseppe Panini (25 Viale dello Sport in Modena).

16.10.2008 - SATURDAY TRENKWALDER MODENA-SISLEY TREVISO. THE FIRST TIME FOR KOOISTRA...
The week of Trenkwalder Modena-Sisley Treviso has arrived. The Derby of Italy will start on Sunday the 18th of October at 6.30 pm at Palasport Giuseppe Panini. The expectations are high for the classic Italian volleyball tournament and among the stars will be Wytze Kooistra, Trenkwalder's Dutchman of 209 cm: for him it will be the first time... that he plays against Treviso. "Everybody talks about Modena-Treviso, it's clearly a unique match, that has something extra. There will be a lot of people watching us, I've always seen it as a spectator and I really feel like playing it now - Kooistra emphasises. What kind of match do you expect? "Of course a very difficult and spectacular one. Treviso lost from Piacenza and will feel like coming back. We are in a good moment: we suffered, reacted and showed good things in the last three rounds. We want to continue getting better and play on a par against a team that aspires the final victory as Treviso does." Is this the first "big match" for you as opposite for Modena? "I think I was quite constant during the first rounds. As I said before I need time, training and matches to get perfectly used to the position of opposite. I still make a little too many errors, but when I make a mistake I immediately think of the next ball. I'm perfectly aware of the fact that Treviso is very strong in blocking: it will be even more stimulating both for me and the team to match against players of such high level." If you could take one player away from Treviso...? Perhaps I would take away Fei. He's one of the best opposites in the world and I saw he's great with Ricardinho." On which aspect of the game does Trenkwalder have to focus particularly against Treviso? "We have to play well in all aspects of the game in order to win from Treviso. Let's say we'll have to try and let the ball go hind and forth a lot to put some pressure on them and try to take advantage of our block-defence. Our strength should be that united we stand and we should help eachother at all times. And then we can add the individual qualities to that." PRESALES. The presales of next Saturday's (October 18) Trenkwalder Modena-Sisley Treviso match, that starts at 6.30 pm (live on Sky Sport) are proceeding steadily. Tickets for the match are available at all branches of the Banca Popolare dell'Emilia Romagna and at the offices of Palasport Giuseppe Panini (25 Viale dello Sport in Modena).

15.10.2008 - MODENA VOLLEYBALL AND THE FUTURE CHAMPIONS: SECOND YEAR FOR "A SERIES YOUTH PROJECT"
Official presentation of the "A Series Youth Project" of Modena Volleyball at Palasport Giuseppe Panini this afternoon. Project manager Andrea Nannini was present, as was president of Anderlini Volleyball School Rodolfo Giovenzana, Modena Volleyball team manager Leonardo Caponi, under 20 B2 Eurotecnica Modena Volleyball trainer Claudio Benedetti and his assistant Cristiano Santini, Trenkwalder Modena trainer Andrea Giani and his assistant Andrea Tomasini and some under 20 athletes (Alessandro Bartoli, Alberto Bigarelli, Luca Bigarelli, Niki Hendriks, Ludovico Carminati and Edoardo Ciabattini). "The Youth Project represents university for our guys - Rodolfo Giovenzana emphasised - After Anderlini Volleyball School they will have to show their qualities at "university" to try and make the quality leap to the top level." "It's a project for very young people: the team is very young, we have a strong belief in our work and we invest more in it every year" - Andrea Nannini said. "One of the big novelties of this year are the guest quarters for five guys from outside Modena - Leonardo Caponi said - We put a lot of effort and attention into the youth activities. This is thanks to the Volleyball School and the Youth Project. From this year we will monitor the national and international youth activities closely: we want to use the guys from our region to advantage and also look for talented guys within and outside Italy." "It's a project I fancy and I follow it on a daily basis - Andrea Giani explained - The B2 under 20 guys are talented, I see them in the sports centre and a lot of them train with us: we need to have the courage to give them the opportunity to get better and match against the A Series." YOUTH PROJECT FOR THE A SERIES. Great champions and young promises. Modena Volleyball focuses on today and tomorrow and decided to continue investing in guys and their technique and not only that. The "Youth Project", in its second year and always managed directly by Modena Volleyball, is a fascinating growth route for the most promising athletes that train closely to the first team of Trenkwalder Modena. The Gialloblù youth section of Modena Volleyball is "built" with the Anderlini Volleyball School and the owners of Modena Volleyball continue with their attention for and investment in the "Youth Project". The Youth Project for the A Series is the connecting part between the activities of the youth sector and those of the first team. Investment, great passion and a lot of work, to consolidate the teamwork with the province even more and to give all necessary opportunities to the guys to improve. So we're talking about an intense process of shaping and education, a technical laboratory, an amplifier of enthusiasm, shoulder to shoulder with Trenkwalder Volleyball. The Youth Project aims to enhance sports talents, and first of all the guys raised at the Anderlini Volleyball School, to search new promises within and outside Italy, offering technical and personal support of an excellent level. This season the team is trained by Claudio Benedetti again and it will take part in the B2 Series and the Junior League, the championship that makes under 20 A1 Series and B2 Series players star. ANDERLINI VOLLEYBALL SCHOOL. The organisation was founded in 1985 by Rodolfo Giovenzana and Andrea Nannini. What makes this organisation different from others in the province is the double merit of activities one could call social, for the numerous boys and girls involved, but certainly combative too. Over the last years the Volleyball School won four Italian youth titles, both men's and women's. And in the 2007/2008 season a place in the finals of the U14 and U16 M is guaranteed, as is a place in the finals of the Boy League and the Junior League. This is exactly what the teamwork between the Anderlini Volleyball School and Modena Volleyball was born and evolved for. The binding part between the A Series and the youth section is represented by the excellent group of under 20 athletes who take part in the Junior League and the B2 national championship. Above that, from this season, the forces of the two organisations are also joined in the organisation of the guest quarters that host athletes from all over the country, with common interests. It's also relevant to mention the contribution of the athletes from the Trenkwalder Volleyball School regarding the Fipav selections in the province and region. Also on a national level the Gialloblù athletes distinguish themselves through their collective Summer meetings: Alessandro Bartoli from '89 and Davis Krumis from '90 (national juniors), Luca Bigarelli from '91 (national pre-juniors), Lorenzo Messori from '94 and Guido Frasoldati from '93 (Italy after 2010) Some actual facts about Anderlini Volleyball School: Pre-combative activities: Pallandia: 3-6 years 150 children Starting centres: 7-10 years 650 children in primary school Combative activities: 400 male and female athletes 10 men's teams, one for every year of age: No. 2 U11, U12, U13, U14, U15, U16 U18 + D Series 2nd Division U20 + B2 Series Organisation International Tournaments BUSSINELLO U16 category: 46 men's teams, 52 women's teams ANDERLINI TOURNAMENT: U14 category: 12 men's and women's teams Summer activities Summer Centre Pallandia: 500 people. "Summer with us" project: -Errea volleyball camp: 6 weeks 600 people -Volleyball campus: international internship for technical perfectioning reserved for teams (Under 16 and 18 M and F) -High specialisation camp: a week of camp with numerus clausus to guarantee a professional approach towards volleyball (manager for the men's section was Andrea Giani) In the picture: The official presentation of the Youth Project for the A Series of Modena Volleyball

10.10.2008 - SUNDAY MARMI LANZA VERONA-TRENKWALDER MODENA. CAPTAIN SARTORETTI STIMULATES TEAMMATES.
"Sunday's match is very important to us: winning would mean a lot, apart from scoring valuable points, for the spirit of a new team like ours, that has to find security and stability." That's how Trenkwalder Modena's captain Andrea Sartoretti reacts, facing the tricky away match against Marmi Lanza in Verona on Sunday (October 12). "The training is going very well - continues Sartoretti, left-handed, born in 1971 and training in Modena for the fourth season in a row, and the fifth season in total - We're a team with ambition, enthusiasm and we're improving. It is only the beginning of the championship, the opponents are very strong, but we can say the promises are high. We're better at block-defence this year, I'm sure that if we improve in serving and receiving, we'll be able to get far. My position? It's a month now, that I've been training in the position of hitter. I sometimes like to attack a ball from the second line while playing, but I'm focusing on the dynamics of a spiker, it's impossible to train both the position of hitter and of opposite at the same time. Every day I gain more understanding of the position. As I've always said, I'm at the disposal of the trainer and the team, in any position and I will continue to do so with great enthusiasm for the whole season." As said before, Trenkwalder will be busy in Verona on Sunday against a very strong opponent, who has been capable of winning against two "super big ones", Treviso and Trento in the first two days: "Marmi Lanza is a young team, with a lot of energy and good technical skills. Additionally they're in great shape: we have a really difficult match ahead of us. I'm confident about our possibilities, I saw how good my teammates are, they're concentrated and willing: we'll have to show what we're worth in the field on Sunday." LIVE ON SKY SPORT 2. Marmi Lanza Verona-Trenkwalder Modena will start at 6.30 pm on Sunday the 12th of October (3rd day of A1 TIM Series) and will be broadcast live on Sky Sport 2 with previews from 6.15 pm. LIVE ON RADIO BRUNO. Marmi Lanza-Trenkwalder Modena will be broadcast live on Radio Bruno 103.8 on Sunday. It will also be possible to listen to live radio on www.radiobruno.it.

09.10.2008 - TRENKWALDER IN VERONA ON SUNDAY. MURILO TALKING...
The third weekend of the A1 Series championship is coming closer. And for Trenkwalder Modena, defeated in Montichiari and having won beautifully from Padova last Sunday, an away match is planned in Verona on Sunday the 12th of October (6.30 pm live on Sky Sport 2), against Marmi Lanza who beat Treviso and Trento in the first two days. Among the stars we will see Endres Murilo, 27 year old spiker of 194 cm who is in his third season under the Ghirlandina (tower of the dome) in Modena and had a long Summer with the Brasilian national team with which he won a silver medal at the Olympics in Bejing. How are you now? "It was a very busy Summer and I have to say I was a bit tired when I arrived last week - Murilo says - But I'm feeling much better now. Vanni (Miale, the personal trainer, ed) makes me work hard and I'm doing well. Psychologically I know the drill: it's the fifth year that I'm in the national team and I know the program by now. I'm in Modena now, as I've said before I felt like coming back here, and I'm very motivated for this Gialloblù season." What do you like about Trenkwalder? "We never gave up against Padova, we were there all the time with our spirit and our mind. This is a strong point for the championship. Technically we know that we're good at blocks and counterattacks: we know we'll have to try and make less errors this year, it's better to replay the ball another time, especially since we're good at replaying. Of course we're just at the beginning, we have to work and get better in many aspects of the game. But the spirit is there, and so is the enthusiasm and the capability of doing so." Has one of your new teammates made a particular impression on you these days? "I repeat that I like the whole group, there's a good atmosphere and this team has valuable technical skills. But I have to admit Kooistra impressed me. Wytze has a different position (he changed from central to opposite, ed) and he's adapted himself swiftly to it: he's got the body and skills to make the difference. I shouldn't put too much pressure on him though: he needs his time to work and improve." On Sunday you're going to Verona and you'll be playing against what probably is the fittest team in the championship... "It's true Verona is in great shape and it's a team I like very much. I know Sottile, Lasko and Bontje very well: we all played together in Vibo Valencia and they play well together. You can tell that Verona has been working with the entire group for over two months. It will be a pretty difficult match, but we want to win and score. We'll try and make few errors." Your girlfriend Jaqueline won the Italian Supercup with Scavolini Pesaro last night and people are talking about Jaqueline and Murilo getting married... "Of course I'm very happy for her: the season couldn't start better... About the wedding, it's true, actually Jaqueline and I have been talking about it for a couple of years now. It might seem strange, but we just can't find the time for it... We bought a house in Florianopolis and we would like to get married next June in Brasil, where we have all our family." PRESS CONFERENCE. Tomorrow, on Friday the 10th of October 2008, captain of Trenkwalder Modena Andrea Sartoretti will be talking to the press in the press room of the home of the Gialloblù, Palasport G. Panini in Modena, at 11 pm.
