Coach Fanni explains: “They are the first collegians of the season, we have relatively little time to prepare for our European Championship which will be from 1st to 13th July, we have to decide which girls to bring because fourteen of us are competing and at the moment there are 18 of us The idea is to test ourselves with two national teams that we will meet in the next few days, first Bulgaria then Finland, to put into practice what we try in the gym, and play with other athletes who are not our teammates, also comparing ourselves with different ways of understanding the game from those we are used to”.
In conjunction with the retreat, an important refresher course for technicians is also being held at Onda della Pietra. “Specifically – explains Fipav coach Adriano Di Pinto – they are courses dedicated to physical preparation that we usually organize during men’s and women’s collegiate training sessions. The job is to combine theory with practice, and involve them in project work as if they were preparing a season.”
