History

The club was based in Gallarate when founded in 2015 and played in group A of the Serie B1 in 2015–16.[1] Ahead of the 2016–17 season, it acquired Neruda Volley licence to play the Serie A2. The club moved its base to Legnano and renew a contract to continue to play at the PalaBorsani for three seasons.[2] The club finished its first Serie A2 season (in 2016–17) as third place during the regular season, qualifying for the Serie A1 promotion playoffs, reaching the final.[3] Despite missing the promotion, the club submitted its participation for the following season at Serie A2 with a request to be on a waiting list for the Serie A1.[4] On 16 July 2017, the Serie A League confirmed that SAB Volley would participate in the Serie A1 2017–18 season.[5]
