The boys, coached by Paolo Lopatriello And Alberto Gallinogained direct access on the court to the national final phase scheduled in Cesenatico from 29 June to 3 July, winning 2-1 in the third set (partials: 25-23; 22-25; 25-14), the last decisive one regular season match against Cervasca, second in the standings just two points behind before the last day of the championship.
The team, set up at the last moment last autumn also drawing on two players from the Under 16 Mixed team (born in 2008) to complete the squad, was a gamble for the entire volleyball sector of the club, as some members were already in the Under 18 Mixed team (which played for the title in the play-off against Cervasca – fate – on a neutral pitch on 22 May) and coach Lopatriello followed two teams throughout the season, Under 18 Male and Under 16 Mixed.

For the Sanrocco soul of the “Tpl”, the connection with the men’s Under 18 was an investment in the future of the team, as in the next season the doors of the Open championship will open for 4 players from 2008 as they will no longer be able to compete in the championship Under 18, not to mention that the registry doesn’t work in favor of some members of the Open team.
