Far from playing on the Playstation: the high school students of Forlì prepare for the challenge by hitting the “cue” on the billiard table. In fact, at President Park, on Saturday morning, April 20th, it takes place the provincial championship, boules specialty, of the five Forlì institutes that have joined the “Billiards at school” project and followed, during the school year, the lessons of the instructors of Fibis, the Sports Billiards Federation. Competing at President Park there will therefore be 32 kids on eight teams who will play not only to win the title for their school, but also to be selected among those who will participate in the federation’s national student games on 11 May in Cervia. The initiative was presented from the Council Hall of Forlì by the deputy mayor and councilor with responsibility for Sport, Daniele Mezzacapo, together with Luciano Naldi, regional Fibis president, and Secondo Giunchedi, national coordinator of the ‘Billiards at school’ project. Students from some participating classes were also present. “The game of billiards blends well with school, you learn by playing what mathematics is and what physics is”, explains Naldi, in presenting the path initiated and supported by the federation to bring the sport of billiards into the classes of technical institutes or high schools. A journey that “this year ends in Cervia where we will hold the national championships – he continues – all the students from our region, and not only that, will come to Cervia for the title”. Forlì starts with a great deal of work behind it, he underlines, demonstrated by the participation of five institutes in the project “where elsewhere, in other cities, there are one or two at most”.
