Lots of athletes (who couldn't resist shooting hoops before the event, and then remain seated in the middle of the field) and the parents present in the stands, for theOpen Day of INVICTUS Camp al PalaCarisbo! And it was a really nice evening, we feel like saying it. The presentation of Michele Forino it started with a ritual introduction: “Welcome to this unique location for Zoran Savic's INVICTUS Camp, bringing you his greetings from Barcelona, looking forward to spending the whole week here with you, in that Bologna where he left an indelible memory made up of victories and an important part of his heart... Many champions will come with him, by Peja Stojakovic who achieved the greatest success in the NBA, to Rasho Nesterovic and Dalibor Bagaric who did it both in America and here, in what it was and dreams of returning to being Basket City...", to then open up to the interventions of the protagonists, and finally provide all the information.
The task of hosting the honors fell to the Director of the Cierrebiclub CARISBO, Dr. Saverio Pierini: “It's a real pleasure to be able to not only host INVICTUS Camp but also this evening, which helps to open doors and make this place known even more, in the past already a fixed destination for Virtus and Fortitudo. As well as a temple of tennis, which is now making a comeback with our new school, immediately involved by INVICTUS Camp in a real event that was organized in record time, a result for which I warmly congratulate and which I hope will lay the foundations for great future developments..."
Then there is space for the presentation of the main content, Basketball, with the Technical Manager Marco Sanguettoli to illustrate what will be the founding reasons of the camp: “Our goal is to give the kids the opportunity to spend a week working in a reality that concentrates in every aspect a youth sector organized to be of a high level. For this, although the basis of fun must obviously be there, we aim to give the kids something concrete, a lesson that they can take with them on how to continue with their work beyond the five days with us, and above all an improvement in some aspects, to be continued in the same way by providing them with the tools to understand which points require further work. As regards the youth sector part, the three hours of daily training will include half an hour with the athletic trainer in the morning plus an hour on a specific fundamental per day, and an hour of team movements plus half an hour of shooting in the afternoon, plus a last half hour dedicated to the various shooting competitions, which will then provide a ranking with which to face the finals on Friday, both individual competitions and a mixed team tournament, to also give a competitive dimension".
Below, Sanguettoli explained that from the outcome of the interzone phase next weekend it will be known whether Virtus Under 15 will access the national finals in Desio, which would coincide precisely with the week of INVICTUS Camp, explaining though: “This will in no way affect my role as Technical Manager: I have selected a staff of highly experienced coaches in the youth sector, with which I will prepare the work in the coming weeks, I also created videos myself to show to the kids before each day of work, and then comparing myself with them every day. And I will try to be present at least on a couple of occasions, I think the distances will allow it. In any case, I will fully perform my role.".
To complete the presentation of the work on basketball, the athletic trainer Luca Briziarielli he explained how, even if in just a few days, a basic approach can be provided to the children, concepts that explain to them how and how much to work to adopt correct behaviors, both in the field and in nutrition, and how relative to the little ones, even in the absence of athletic work, motor games can be played that develop the work in a certain direction, preparatory to what will come next. So too, the Minibasketball Manager Luca Brochetto he underlined how play and fun will be the basis for working with the little ones, but also in this case well directed towards learning and growth, to make improvements that allow even very young athletes to feel greater satisfaction and be even more incentivized to improve. For them, in addition to the three hours of daily work in the field, there will be space for competitions and tournaments, which must always be rewarding for everyone.
Finally, the Federal Master Paolo Mingori illustrated the tennis program, which includes one hour a day for all children regardless of their level of play, also introducing his collaborator Rita Tabarroni. A "window" dedicated to rackets and balls throughout the week. E Michele Forino, in the absence of the manager Simone Alberti and his assistant Alessandra Chiappetta busy with work, explained the program Hip Hop, which can now be chosen both as an alternative to Basket, with three hours of lessons a day between morning and afternoon and preparation of a choreography to be performed on Friday afternoon at PalaCarisbo, both in parallel, giving those who wish to follow a course including both Basketball and Hip Hop the opportunity, with the addition always valid for everyone of Tennis, Pool and… lunches at the restaurant Under San Luca, which many families have already had the opportunity to experience this evening, and will take care of the meals INVICTUS Camp for teens, coaches and staff.
