Focus on the youth teams
Under 20 Excellence
Three wins and six losses: this is the roadmap of the Juventus juniors who with the Canestro Alessandria shirt are preparing to play the last match of the first leg on Thursday 17th at 21pm at the PalaCamagna against the "battleship" Cantù, undefeated leader of the group category. We knew it was tough, but the return round could hold some more satisfaction for Gay, Tava & company, also called to fight in the Serie C Gold, as well as acting as sparring partners in Serie A2: all experience for the future which could hold good developments.
Under 18 Elite
Five victories and as many defeats to date for the cadets, this year entrusted to coach Casalone, who are preparing to face the final phase of the preliminary round of the category. On paper they have a clear path until the match in San Mauro Torinese, which could be decisive to compete for fourth position in the standings, probably the last valid one to qualify for the second regional round. Veronese & co. they are called to a maturity test!
Under 16 Elite
The departure of Noli's students was not the best due to the absence of Pernigotti, who was injured in pre-season. With his recovery the momentum seems to have turned in the last few matches, thanks also to the contribution of Ponta and Lazreg, called to support our team by Serravalle. It will be tough for Santoro & co to grab fourth place in the standings to gain access to the second phase with the other best teams in Piedmont: all that remains is to try and hope for a bit of luck.
Under 15
Coach Noli's boys confirmed themselves as the strongest in the group, having prevailed in the match against Teen in Turin and taking their sixth consecutive victory. There are still two games left to close the first round and it would be nice to finish it with full points to demonstrate the Juventus superiority. Among the individuals, while Cattaneo is looking for the best conditions as director, Mogni and Singh confirm themselves as scorers, the progress of Ghislieri stands out above all. You must not lose concentration.
Under 14
There are no hidden dreams of glory for the team coached by the confirmed coach De Ros. After last year we came one step away from the final of the Under 13 category, it could be a good year for Nocenti & companions to climb onto the top step of the regional podium. Four victories in as many races is the clear path followed to date, but after the Christmas break the most difficult clashes will begin.
Anyway, one step at a time!
Under 13
It is the season of the debut in the competitive field, after the good results shown in past seasons at mini-basketball level. The command of the team passed from the experience of Professor Aldo Caenazzo to the hands of Paolo De Ros. The first matches have demonstrated the good potential of the group, which after the end-of-year holidays will face a direct clash with Vercelli, which seems to be the main contender of ours for the supremacy of the preliminary round. Only the first place will advance to the second phase.
minibasket
First competitive skirmishes for the Rookies (2004 draft) and for the Aquilotti (2005). Coach Gatti has set up a work program made up of frequent training sessions and as many participations in tournaments and championships. The path seems the right one to verify the intentions of groups where, in addition to the quantity of athletes, interesting individual personalities are starting to emerge.
