The summer market of Trentino Volley has registered another important hiring. With the aim to make the team 2018/19 more and more competitive, the yellowblue Club engaged the Dutch spiker Maarten Van Garden for the next season.
His hiring will offer the coach Angelo Lorenetti one more spiker as an option, so improving the potentials: the 28 years old spiker is an eclectic and talented player who is very capable in every fundamental and who already has a great experience in the Italian field. Indeed he wore the jersey of Corigliano in A2 in the season 2012/13, of Ravenna from 2015 to 2017 and of Modena during the last season in Superlega. In Emilia Romagna he proved to be improving a lot, playing as a regular several matches which ended well. He just ended the European League 2018 with the Netherlands jersey, a team in which he's one of the strongest. During the last summer he also wore the orange jersey on the sand: Van Gardeen participated in the Fivb World Tour 2017 of beach volley, scoring more than 1300 points with his team mate Varenhorst and playing the semifinal of the World Champinship in Vienna. In his curriculum he cn also boast a season in the German Bundesliga with the jersey of Friedrichshafen, nd experie nce that he shared with Jenia  Grebennikov, winning the German chapionship as mvp of the finals and the the German Cup.
“We treid to bring Van Garderen to Trento a year ago, but it wasn't possible – said the coach of Trentino Volley Angelo Lorenzetti - . So I'm very happy to have him with us today, also because we're talking about an important player who's growing a lot physically and technically and who has important features for our season. Maarten is a complete athlete and he's very happy, positive and motivated. He will give us a lot”.
Maarten Van Garderen will wear the jersey number 3 and he will be the third Dutch player in the history of Trentino Volley, after Wytze Kooistra, middle blocker in 2005/2016, and Kay Van Dijk, opposite in 2013/14.
