Volleyball in Pianura
A way to bring the kids of the neighborhood closer to the world of volleyball and give them the opportunity to have fun, learning the values of sport. «The history of volleyball in the parish dates back 30 years ago, when the old Church started this journey. – Explains the pastoral contact for sport and theatre, Gennaro Bonetti – Over the years, however, attention has decreased, because the free nature of the activities, which is important, has disappeared».
«The “pitch” that was inaugurated in October is actually a regulation pitch in all respects, which in a second phase will also be covered, allowing Fipav championships to be played. In this way we anticipated a CEI project, with the church it opens up and involves the whole territory, from sports clubs, institutions, schools, parents”.
The Volleyball Festival for the neighborhood
The Volleyball Festival will be an event entirely dedicated to the Pianura neighborhood and above all to its kids. A synergy between Volley Napoli and the San Lorenzo Parish to work actively in the area. «There will be a hundred young people who will compete in a mini volleyball tournament. – Continues Gennaro Bonetti – The Italian club, together with the parish priest Father Vincenzo Cimarelli, has embraced this sporting project of the Parish, giving its own technical and structural contribution».
«The field has become a point of reference for the education of children and for the growth of the volleyball movement. For the party we also involved the Parish of San Pietro e Paolo of Soccavo and other sports clubs. It will be a splendid day with great emotions and a nice welcome”, concludes the sports representative Bonetti.
