Simonetta Avalle is dead, volleyball in mourning

Simonetta Avalle è died

A sad day for Italian women’s volleyball, which mourns the passing of Simonetta Avalle.

The first, historic, coach of Serie A, thanks to her passion and strength she managed to bring a team from the outskirts of Rome, Tor Sapienza, to the top league, later taking the satisfaction of winning a CEV Cup in the 1993 edition with Colli Aniene, before sitting on different benches between Naples, Florence, Reggio Calabria and Vicenza.

One of the figures who made women’s volleyball what it is today, in recent years he has contributed to the growth of many champions right in the Capital, working with FIPAV for the growth of young volleyball players.

President Mauro Fabris and the entire Consortium of the Lega Pallavolo Serie A Femminile extend their deepest condolences to her brother Gianni and the whole family at this difficult time.
