Apart from the agonistic activity, Gate Volley is associated to the European Gay & Lesbian Sport Federation and takes part regularly in the major European Glbt sports events. Tournaments such as Barcelona, Paris, Frankfurt, are usual appointments. Gate Volley is also one of the groups which have contributed in creating Gay Sport Italia, the National coordination of Italian Glbt sports groups.

Since 2001 Gate Volley organizes the International Volleyball Tournament Mamma Mia. 2009 will mark the 7th edition of the biggest Italian gay volleyball tournament. In the first weekend of September during the three days of the tournament, on average 30 to 40 teams participate in three levels for a total of about 500 participants both athletes and fans.

The numbers of the first edition in 2001 till the last one in 2008 have consecrated Mamma Mia as one of the most attended Glbt European volleyball appointments. In the course of the years, the playing level has continuously increased, seizing the participation of an always more elevated number of teams, both Italian and foreign.

Each year since its creation, GATE Volley grows in its membership, events it holds, and the national and international gay tournaments in which it participates. Today GATE is a group with many members (there are 50 members plus friends of the group), respected and quite famous in gay ambient and not.

The director’s board for the association consists of 5 members, the President, Vice President, and three Councilmen. Also, other positions exist within the group, such as the Treasurer, Secretary, Coach, and various other collaborators as needed.
