Larissa Besen

Playing as a middle blocker, Larissa Besen has built a career that now spans Osasco São Cristóvão Saúde and senior international competition. Besen has developed as a middle blocker in Brazil’s domestic system and joined Osasco São Cristóvão Saúde, one of the country’s most established women’s clubs. By 2026–27 she was entering another season in Osasco’s front-court rotation, where quick attacking and blocking remain her primary responsibilities.

Middle blocking is built on short, explosive decisions. Larissa Besen has to read the setter, move laterally to close the block and then transition immediately into a quick attack, often within a few seconds. Listed at 190 cm, that physical profile is relevant context for the role, but it does not replace timing, reading and technical execution. For Larissa Besen, the position therefore links technical detail with the tactical demands of both club and national-team volleyball.

She also worked her way into Brazil’s senior national-team pool during the 2026 season. That selection links a growing club role with the deeper competition of Brazil’s international middle-blocker group, giving Besen experience at both Superliga and national-team level while still in her mid-twenties. Club continuity and international selection now sit side by side in Larissa Besen’s career, giving the player experience across two different competitive rhythms.
