Milan Volleyball

Laureus supports a Volleyball club for young girls in Milan. For these girls, volleyball is an instrument of rebirth made up of a “comfort zone” where girls, in the pre-adolescence phase, hide behind a body that changes quickly. Volleyball sets boundaries, like the net, which separates them from opponents. Those boundaries become a safe place for them to express themselves to the maximum by throwing themselves to the ground for a reception or jumping high to block and crush. Volleyball removes distances and allows these girls to develop their skills, in which to lose a point but immediately go into a position ready to receive, lift the ball and hit.

Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules. It has been a part of the official program of the Summer Olympic Games since Tokyo 1964.
