The big challenge in Câmpulung Muscel: a U19 volleyball marathon for Volleyball Forever! 🏐🔥
The sports hall in Câmpulung Muscel is becoming the epicentre of Romanian youth volleyball! Our club, Volleyball Forever, is entering the home straight of a real competitive marathon, taking part in a friendly tournament of a very high technical level.
The marathon opens with a spectacular tournament for the U17 (Cadets) category, followed straight away by the clash of the elite in the U19 (Juniors) category, where we will compete. This double competition is the ultimate test before the official start of the season, giving our girls the perfect opportunity to measure themselves against the strongest academies and clubs in the country.

The stakes are huge, with top teams that have reached the later stages of the National Championship present in both age groups (listed below in alphabetical order):
Champions Sibiu: an ambitious, fast-rising team that impressed in past seasons with solid qualifications for the later stages of the national championship, bringing an energetic and tenacious team game to the court.
Corona Brașov: one of the most modern and consistent academies in the country. The Brașov players come off excellent seasons, qualifying year after year for the Final Tournaments in the youth categories, where they fight directly for medals with fast attacks and aggressive serves.
CS Muscel Aro 1 & CS Muscel Aro 2: the hosts! The Câmpulung club has a rich tradition, its first team (Aro 1) being a regular in the later stages of the cadet and junior championships, while Aro 2 represents the up-and-coming wave.

CSU Târgu Mureș: a team with a rich tradition, former medallists and constantly present in the Semi-final and Final Tournaments. The Mureș players excel in defensive organisation and show remarkable tenacity in every rally.
Dinamo Bucharest: a huge brand with an elite volleyball school. Dinamo is a constant presence on the national podiums at U17 and U19, medallists at the Final Tournaments and known for their tactical discipline and physical strength.
A new chapter at the helm: starting out with Coach Uglješa Šegrt 🇷🇸
This season’s competitions also mark the start of an ambitious new chapter for our club: we are setting off under the guidance of Serbian coach Uglješa Šegrt! Known for his tactical rigour, iron discipline and ability to get the most out of young athletes’ potential, our new coach brings a modern, international-level vision to Volleyball Forever. The Câmpulung tournament is the first important test in which our girls will put Coach Šegrt’s game philosophy into practice, and enthusiasm in the squad is at its peak!
Volleyball Forever’s goal: a new team, one fighting spirit!
Fielding a new team in a new age group (U19) shows the strength and continuity of the Volleyball Forever project. For the new juniors team, facing teams used to the atmosphere of the Final Tournaments is the ideal chance to bond the group, refine attacking schemes and keep a high pace under pressure.
Days full of emotion, volleyball marathons and spectacular duels at the net await us!
