LJ Volley, known as Liu Jo Modena, was an Italian women's volleyball club based in Modena. It played in the Serie A1 from its creation in 2013 until its dissolution in 2016.

History

The club was established when fashion company Liu·Jo decided to create a volleyball club based in Modena and in May 2013, the company acquired a Serie A1 licence from Gruppo Sportivo Oratorio Villa Cortese.{{cite web |url=http://www.dallarivolley.com/IT0367016095001.asp |title=Liu Jo riporta a Modena il grande volley femminile |language=Italian |work=dallarivolley.com |date=9 May 2013 |accessdate=23 February 2017}} The club was officially unveiled in Carpi (Modena) on 28 May 2013 under the name {{em|LJ Volley}}.{{cite web |url=http://gazzettadimodena.gelocal.it/sport/2013/05/28/news/l-j-volley-oggi-presentazione-con-effetti-speciali-1.7153772 |title=L•J Volley: oggi presentazione con effetti speciali? |language=Italian |work=Gazzetta di Modena |date=28 May 2013 |accessdate=23 February 2017}} The project goal was to bring women's volleyball back to Modena, which has a long tradition in the sport, by creating a professional club and supporting a local club focussed on youth teams.{{cite web |url=http://www.dallarivolley.com/IT0397016200001.asp |title=Paola Cardullo a Modena |language=Italian |work=dallarivolley.com |date=28 May 2015 |accessdate=23 February 2017}}

After the club's third season, in May 2016, an agreement between the club and Nordmeccanica Piacenza was announced, following LJ Volley decision to ceased its volleyball operations. In the agreement River Volley acquired LJ Volley assets (players and rights to play at the PalaPanini) with Liu Jo becoming River's main sponsor and the club based in Piacenza was renamed {{em|Liu Jo Nordmeccanica Modena}} with home matches played at the PalaPanini in Modena.{{cite web |url=http://www.volleyball.it/modenza-accordo-concluso-nasce-liu-jo-nordmeccanica-modena/ |title="Modenza": Accordo concluso, nasce Liu Jo Nordmeccanica Modena |language=Italian |work=volleyball.it |date=19 May 2016 |first=Antonietta |last=Paradiso |accessdate=23 February 2017}}{{cite web |url=http://www.dallarivolley.com/IT0367020705001.asp |title=I fratelli Marchi lasciano la guida della L•J Volley ad Antonio Cerciello |language=Italian |work=dallarivolley.com |date=20 May 2016 |accessdate=23 February 2017}}{{cite web |url=http://www.liujonordmeccanicavolley.it/chi-siamo/ |title=Chi siamo |language=Italian |work=liujonordmeccanicavolley.it |accessdate=23 February 2017}} LJ Volley sold its Serie A1 licence to Neruda Volley.{{cite web |url=http://www.legavolleyfemminile.it/?p=59579 |title=Il Neruda Volley Bolzano resta in serie A1: acquisito oggi il titolo sportivo di Modena |language=Italian |work=legavolleyfemminile.it |date=21 June 2016 |accessdate=23 February 2017}}
