After being relegated to Serie B1 in 2018, the original VolAlto Caserta was closed down. However, the club was re-established under the name VolAlto 2.0 Caserta and acquired the rights to play in the 2018–2019 season of Serie A2 from Cuneo Granda Volley.[2] The club won the promotion playoffs this season and was promoted to Serie A1.[3]
