Ssd Colonna (volleyball), Ciurlante: “Our girls are falling in love with volleyball”

Colonna (Rm) – The Colonna volleyball sector has built a “hard core”. Manager Guglielmo Ciurlante is convinced of this and draws up the end-of-season assessment: “We worked very well with the female Under 13 group and with the minivolley girls and I am convinced that a strong passion for volleyball was born in many of these very young athletes. . In this regard, we have proposed that families continue training during the summer too, especially for the older ones: the idea is to meet three mornings a week for about a couple of hours in the months of June and July to continue working on the technical principles and above all to continue to make them fall in love with our discipline. We will shortly check the feedback from the families of our members.” Ciurlante moves on to a technical analysis of the two groups: “The Under 13 team went according to expectations. Being a group made up of girls almost all in their first year of volleyball, to which other athletes were added during the current season, we knew that there would be difficulties in the Uisp championship that they faced. At the same time, playing with stronger teams has made them grow more quickly and in any case they have shown excellent team spirit and the right mentality which makes us confident that they will continue this path in the world of volleyball. Next year they will have the Under 14 championship and it will be even tougher on a technical level, then we will evaluate whether to continue with the Uisp championship or the federal one”. Even more so in the minivolley group there were many “novices” to volleyball: “Even in this case, we have started a journey. Younger girls absorb a lot and learn quickly. The more ready ones also played some championship games with this year’s Under 13s.” Ciurlante concludes with a general consideration regarding his relationship with Colonna, a club where he has worked for two years: “I was president of a club in Frascati a few years ago and my club functioned like this one. There is a way of playing sport and relating to kids in which I recognize myself a lot.”
