UniTrento Volley was created in 2019 as a collaboration between the University of Trento and Trentino Volley, with the aim of creating a competitive men's volleyball team composed mainly of students from the University.

The programme offers support in reconciling sporting and academic commitments, and is based on the belief that sport contributes to personal growth and the development of soft skills that are useful in the world of work.

1. Technical and competitive training sessions supervised by the Trentino Volley staff.
2. Dedicated medical and physical therapy assistance.
3. Flexible exam dates (for those who play Serie A3 or a higher division) in the event of overlaps with competitions or training camps.
4. Facilitated access to University services.
5. Department/centre tutor for everything related to university life.
6. Psychological and motivational support, in collaboration with the Department of Psychology and Cognitive Science.
7. Training courses on soft skills related to competitive sport, thanks to the "Sport 4 Skills" project.
8. Visibility of sport and academic results, with the opportunity to be a testimonial of UniTrento and Trentino Volley.
9. Free UniTrento Sport Card, to take advantage of the University's sports activities.

Every year, Trentino Volley identifies the participants from among its members or members of other teams who are willing to join Trentino Volley.

The team is made up of at least 80% of UniTrento students, while 20% are students of the last two years of secondary schools who are committed to enrolling at UniTrento.
