The Lithuanian opposite Edvinas Vaškelis is the new signing made by Joy Volley Gioia del Colle in view of the next A3 series championship. Very active on the market, the red and white management did not let one of the protagonists of the third national category in the last three years slip away, who, with 655 points totaled in 28 games played, dragged Rinascita Lagonegro to reach the play-off goal last season.
Having arrived in the world of volleyball at the age of fifteen, Edvinas immediately showed off his important qualities and technical skills which, in a short time, allowed him to reach the Lithuanian top division, where he defends the colors of Elga Šiauliai and F
lamingo Volley-SM Tauras, and to participate in numerous youth beach volleyball competitions with his national team.
After the experiences gained in Estonia, Belgium, Lithuania and Germany with the clubs Parnnu Vōrkpalliklubi, Par-ky Menen, TK Rūta and Volley Bisons Bühl, the doors of the A3 series will open wide for him in the 2021/2022 season.
In Italy he left his mark, scoring 1802 points in 82 matches played with the jerseys of Team Volley San Donà di Piave, Farmitalia Catania, Aurispa Libellula Lecce and, finally, Rinascita Lagonegro.
Ready to create a dream setter-opposite diagonal with Peppe Longo, the twenty-eight year old athlete already has clear ideas about the objectives to pursue next season: “I’m here to win everything – his first words -. The company is working hard to build a strong staff, equipping it with all the means and qualities necessary to compete on all fronts in the A3 championship. From the month of August it will be up to us to create a solid, united and motivated group, capable of always expressing a very high quality of play and a winning mentality – specifies the new striker in place 2 of Joy Volley -. Many have spoken to me about Gioia del Colle, its important volleyball history and the great passion of its fans. I can’t wait to play in the ‘magical’ atmosphere of PalaCapurso.”
