Arena
The team currently plays at the PalaBorsani, an indoor arena based in Castellanza. The team also uses a smaller indoor arena in Vanzaghello for training purposes and for some minor non-competitive matches. The arena in Vanzaghello was home to the team as long as it played in the A2 National League.

The main rivalry is with Yamamay Busto Arsizio, a team based in Busto Arsizio, in the Province of Varese, because the two cities are neighbors and because they belong to two different provinces.

The "Alto Milanese" is a geographical area between the provinces of Milan, Varese and part of the province of Como.
