Volleyball - Women's League A. Vandoeuvre Nancy bets on Dutch center Laura De Zwart

While closely following, without really rejoicing, the financial health of its competitors (Aix-Venelles in receivership, Nantes' withdrawal from professional volleyball, etc.) and its possible prospects of climbing the ladder on the European scene (Challenge Cup or CEV Cup?), the VNVB continues to build its squad, stone by stone. With the technical staff complete , the VNVB club then announced the signing of the American Margaret Wolowicz , then the return of the Bosnian center Ajla Paradzik .

This Sunday, VNVB officially announced the arrival of another center: Dutch player Laura De Zwart (26 years old; 1.99m). A tall, experienced player, she had the opportunity to compete in the German championship between 2019 and 2022 (Dresden, then Thüringen). In addition to her solid professional volleyball career, Laura De Zwart has a unique life story behind her, having had to put her career on hold for two years to treat a serious illness.

Last season, she returned to the pitch, wearing the Sliedrecht (Netherlands) jersey. "Laura's arrival is excellent news for VNVB," enthuses VNVB coach Nicola Vettori. "Her height, international experience, and mental strength will be major assets for our team." "Laura perfectly embodies our club's values: determination, excellence, and team spirit. Her journey is a life lesson and a source of motivation for everyone," adds president Patrick Venturini.
