The school year starts again and the activity of the youth sector of Atlantide Pallavolo resumes, which on Monday afternoon presented its offer aimed at boys and girls for the 2023-2024 season, as well as kicking off the greatBrescia working hard season ticket campaign!
In the setting of the Sant’Eufemia Store of the sponsor Giustacchini, the Councilor Luca Pomarici spoke, representing the Sports Department of the Municipality of Brescia, Lorenzo Bonisoli, Roberto Zambonardi and Nicola Candeli, respectively vice-president, head of the Atlantide sector and central team of A2, the president Giambattista Cabra and his deputy Giancarlo Fontana for Brescia Volley and Gianfranco Coffetti, Sports Director of Pallavolo Montichiari.
The more than twenty-year effort of the managers and technicians involved is to consolidate the presence in the area, with the idea of creating a single great Brescia volleyball movement. And the numbers prove the biancazzurro project right, which now counts on a small army of 400 young athletes, engaged in activities ranging from minivolleyball to Serie C.
Serie A requires time and resources, but the most delicate investment for Atlantis is still that in young people, both with a view to being a breeding ground for the first team and – and much more – to keep them anchored to the values of sport.
For this reason, Atlantide has established relationships and partnerships with other companies such as Brescia Volley and Pallavolo Montichiari, in addition to the link with Enzo Valdo of Castiglione delle Stiviere and today can offer a complete range of courses, divided into all categories of the men’s and women’s Under championships and which covers every day of the week in multiple city gyms.
In total, Atlantide participates in the Fipav Minivolley/S3 championships, in fifteen Under championships (8 women’s and 7 men’s), one in the women’s second division, one in the men’s C series, and in a UISP mixed amateur championship. The organizational machine relies on a coaching group made up of 20 technicians, while there are 50 people responsible for organizing the activities and managing the Caionvico facility, the ‘home’ of Atlantis.
The structures that allow the training of the baby toucans to be managed are two now historic gyms: the Paolo Molinari building in Caionvico, and the San Filippo centre, a structure of crucial importance for allowing children to train alongside the champions of the A2 series, and for guarantee spaces that allow many young athletes to be hosted at the same time.
All this is possible thanks to the support of the local administration which confirms its trust in the volleyball club and also grants use of the Annibale Calini high school gym.
