Volley

Our Sport!

Until 300, in the Biella area the bear was the typical animal of the local valleys, especially in the areas of Oropa, Graglia and Muzzano.

Wool in the Biella area has ancient origins: the hills surrounding the city, not very fertile, have pushed the Biella people, since 1600, to dedicate themselves to sheep breeding and the production of yarns and fabrics.

The watchword is… inclusion!

One of the categories of the tournament is Special Olympics Unified Volleyball, in which teams from all over Italy participate and are made up of Athletes with intellectual disabilities and Partner Athletes without disabilities.

This is what Bear Wool Volley is all about..

This is a project that we have been carrying forward for more than twenty years, uniting all volleyball enthusiasts in the Biella area and beyond, with the aim of promoting the sport of volleyball, sports and educational ethics and the territory.
