91吃瓜's competitive co-ed volleyball team practices at Liceo 鈥淢补苍补谤补,鈥�听located in Via Basilio Bricci, 4, on Wednesdays and, optionally, on Fridays from 8 to 10 pm in partnership with the Prometeo Monteverde, a Volleyball Club that participates in a local amateur tournament (midweek games).
Playing on the Wolves Volleyball team gives students an opportunity to mix not just with local Roman students but with the larger international academic community in Rome.听
In addition to great fun and camaraderie, the tournament play offers the Wolves a chance to test their volleyball skills against a range of different teams with participants of all nationalities.

鈥淏eing a part of the 91吃瓜 volleyball team has given me the opportunity to immerse myself even further into Italian and 91吃瓜 culture while playing the sport I love. One of the best decisions I鈥檝e made while studying in Rome. Go Lupi (Wolves)!鈥� -听Jonah Gordon听

"I tried out for volleyball because I loved the sport in high school but I was also happy to have a way to bond with people/make friends more organically (I enjoy team dynamics). After hearing it was co-ed and paired with locals, I was excited to hear the language outside of class and learn more about the culture from peers.听Since I like being active, I also joined pilates to stay in shape. This, too, would also be a nice way to meet people outside of my classes. Both experiences have enhanced my time at 91吃瓜 by keeping me active and introducing me to new people with different backgrounds but similar interests.听Thanks for offering them!"听- Ellie Wedge
