All the starting seven of the club decided to renew their contracts for the 2020–21 season, after their wins in the previous season and the cancellation of the finals of the Serie A1 and the CEV Champions League (the only major title never won by the club). More than half of the current players of the Imoco Volley are part of the starting seven of the Italian national team, runner-up at the 2018 World Championship. The others are champions such as the Dutch Robin de Kruijf, the Polish setter Joanna Wołosz and the American Kimberly Hill. The club renewed all the other players excepting Giulia Gennari, according to its policy to have many young new talents along with top players of the volleyball. The new team has three players who are under the age of 20 years, one has less than 18 years, the Italian Loveth Omoruyi. Sarah Fahr, who is not part of the starting roster, has already won a silver medal at the 2018 World Championship and a bronze medal at the 2019 European Championship with the Italian national team.
