History
[edit | edit source]Volley Talmassons was founded in 1991, but it was not registered in the Italian volleyball federation (FIPAV) until 1993.[1][2] The club started playing in the provincial second division, but advanced to the provincial first division in 2001. In 2003, Volley Talmassons was promoted to Serie D and the following season the club was promoted again, now to Serie C.[3]
In 2012, Volley Talmassons finished second in the promotion pool of Serie C and the club moved up to Serie B2.[4] After playing in Serie B2 for three seasons, Volley Talmassons won pool D in the 2014–2015 season of the division and advanced to Serie B1.[5]
In 2019, Volley Talmassons reached Serie A2 by winning pool B in the 2018–2019 season of Serie B1.[6][7] With that, Talmassons became the smallest municipality in Italy to have a team in Serie A2.[2] Five years later, in 2024, Volley Talmassons won the play-off finals in Serie A2 and the club was promoted to the top league in Italy, Serie A1.[8][9] In its debut season in Serie A1 (2024–2025), the club finished the regular season in last place and was relegated to Serie A2 again.[10]
