A UNIQUE AND ORIGINAL PROJECT Innovation, design, modernity and dynamism have now characterized the relationship between Mondo and Series Volleyball League.

Immediately supported and shared with Mondo, a fantastic partner who believed in this project unique and original, making it feasible and practical, "says Yvonne Schlesinger. TRICOLOR COURT The Italian league was the first in the world to use this type of flooring. The field representing the Italian flag made its debut in 2008, at the All Star Volleyball, a spectacular game between two representative trained by the best players of the championship. "The comments from the public present at the games and television viewers were immediately very positive and excited," recalls Schlesinger. Since that time it has become the playing field of all official events organized directly by the Volleyball League: Super Cup, Italian Cup Finals Series A1 and Series A2 and Youth final. The enthusiasm was such as to lead to the decision to make the court tricolor symbol of Italian champions in office. The flooring tricolor has thus become the playing field, for the following season, the team that won the Scudetto.

A game of volleyball, in addition to flooring, has other items which need to be mounted on the floor including the poles, network, etc. The operating speed, in this situation, represents an important aspect of the organization. "The Series Volleyball League has always had full confidence in the excellent skills of setting up and dismantling backed Mondo", concludes Yvonne Schlesinger. Pag. 2/
