Collaboration between Bertram Derthona and Torneo Armana
Bertram Derthona is pleased to announce that it has started a collaboration with the prestigious 'Armana Tournament', which will be played on the outdoor pitch in Corso Garibaldi, the historic summer meeting place for Tortona players, on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th June.
Now in its fifteenth edition, the tournament is a traditional and now very famous event for the city of Tortona and is part of a particularly intense week full of events for the young athletes of Bertram Derthona. In the days preceding the Armana Tournament Tortona will host the International Specialization Camp (10-14 June) in which seven coaches from all over the world will involve the youth sector and minibasketball in the Armana and Codevilla gyms of the PalaCamagna and in the pitch in via Garibaldi.
Precisely in the name of Prof. Mario Armana, historic coach of Derthona Basket and father of Matteo and Marco, organizers and driving forces of the tournament, Bertram Derthona has decided to collaborate with the Armana Tournament by giving away the team registration fee to its minibasketball members who will participate in the categories dedicated to them. For information on registering for the event, you can consult the Armana Tournament website by connecting to the following link: http://www.torneoarmana.it/wp-torneo/iscrizioni/
On Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th June, on the occasion of the Tournament, there will be a corner in the shop where Bertram Derthona merchandising products will be displayed and put on sale.
This is the comment of Roberto Tava, president of the Juventus Club: ʺI have participated in the Armana Tournament since the first editions both as a player and, recently, as a spectator. Prof. Mario Armana represented a piece of Derthona Basket's history and was a point of reference in my life: therefore I am truly happy that the event has the patronage of our society from this year. I also trust that this collaboration can last long into the future, in the memory of a great sportsman from the city of Tortonaʺ.
These are the words of Matteo Armana: ʺWe are very happy with this partnership between the Armana Tournament and Bertram Derthona, as they are two examples of how much basketball - be it 5vs5 or 3vs3 - is felt and appreciated in Tortona at the moment. The collaboration intends to give registration to the Armana Minibasket Tournament to all the 'mini ballers' who want to play. I think this fully reflects the will and dream of our father who, just like Bertram Derthona, always wanted young people to approach basketball..
