History
[edit]The club was established in 1999 and its teams (girls, youth, junior and senior) started participating in local and regional competitions.

It reached Serie D (in 2008), Serie C (in 2010), Serie B2 (in 2011) and Serie B1 (in 2013). The club won the 2015–16 Serie B1 promotion playoff and made its debut in the Serie A2 on the following season.[1][2]
