Luca Colombi: ʺThis has been an important season. We thank Derthona Basket for their hospitality
The intense day of Sunday, in which the Armana and Codevilla gyms of the PalaCamagna hosted the Regional Jamboree for male and female rookies, was an opportunity to take stock of the seasonal activity with Luca Colombi, Minibasket Manager of the Piedmont region, who began by thanking Derthona Basket for its hospitality and ʺfor allowing us to play in these two beautiful facilities. We opted for the 3 against 3 playground style formula to bring together the kids who are at the end of their mini-basketball career and are preparing to start their career in the youth sector..
The men's tournament took place on the morning of Sunday 26 May, in which thirty-two teams took part who, over the course of the year,they played in the competitive Rookies trophy in all the provinces of the regional territory. This party closes an important and tiring season, in which we organized many events and received great participation from the kids. while in the afternoon the twenty-four teams participating in the women's event took to the field.
Then analyzing the situation in the province of Alessandria, Colombi highlighted the need to have important companies that ʺthey take children to the gym and make them do a high-level activity, which is based on significant numbers. Last year we organized the Jamboree in Casale, this year in Tortona, a sign that we care about being present in the area: in parallel with this event we organized the Aquilotti Jamboree in Collegno. I also underline that structured companies have that something that allows us to refer to people like Alessio Gaudio who gave us a very strong hand at an organizational level..
Looking then at the future of the activity, the Regional Minibasket Manager stated that ʺdevelopment must be systematic, it is necessary to continue working with the aim of structuring competitive and non-competitive trophies as well as free rein parties where novice kids can approach basketball. Another aspect I focus on is women's basketball, which has ample room for growth: this improvement could and should be an objective of all clubs..
