History[edit]
The club was established in July 2006 by the merge of two local women's volleyball in order to be more competitive. It started in Serie D and gained promotion to Serie C in its first season, through the years it was promoted to Series B2 and B1 before reaching the Serie A2 on 11 June 2014.[1]
After being relegated to Serie B1 in 2018, the original VolAlto Caserta was closed down. However, the club was re-established under the name VolAlto 2.0 Caserta and acquired the rights to play in the 2018–2019 season of Serie A2 from Cuneo Granda Volley.[2] The club won the promotion playoffs this season and was promoted to Serie A1.[3]
In its debut season in Serie A1 (2019–2020), VolAlto 2.0 Caserta was in last place when the season was canceled in March 2020 due to COVID-19.[4] The following season, VolAlto 2.0 Caserta failed to have its application for participation in Serie A1 approved by FIPAV and the club was dissolved.[5]
