In the female division, Volleyball Gurls won gold while Royal Empresses came second with silver with team Spot On taking the 3rd Position.
Held under the auspices of the Italian National Deaf Women’s Volleyball Team, the aim of this year’s edition was to empower deaf persons through volleyball by actively engaging them in games intended to unearth talents and groom them into responsible, independent and useful individuals for their families and the nation.
The event will also serve as a situational study towards the organization of subsequent events in the coming years such as volleyball championship for schools for the deaf, Regional volleyfest,  coaching and refresher courses for DVC coaches and sports teachers for the schools for the deaf just to mention a few.
The theme for this year’s game is “energizing the youth with the passion to play volleyball!!!”
