The Italian junior and under badminton championships were held in Milan from 26 to 29 October.
The results of the Nisseni athletes of BC Pietrarossa were excellent, in particular the second place in the under 13 men’s doubles category of Francesco Cardillo (who became Sicily 2023 regional champion on 8 October in the men’s singles and men’s doubles categories) who, paired with Pasidu Fernando of BC Messina fought hard until the third set losing 2 to 1 with the score 21/18 – 23/25 – 22/20. Therefore, he almost missed the Italian title in his first participation in this important competition.
Good results for Giorgia Lipani (second place in the under 15 singles and women’s doubles categories with Elena Giambra, and third place in the mixed doubles with Mattia Occhipinti of Etna Sycula of Acicastello in the regional championship), stopped in the quarterfinals by Malleier of Asv Ubertech .
Alice Lipani’s performance was also good in the under 19 team, although the greater experience of her opponents did not allow her to continue.
Francesco Cardillo and the BC Pietrarossa athletes Giorgia Lipani, Elena Giambra and Mariam Trauli have been selected for the talent program of the FIBa Territorial Technical Center in Catania, where they go every weekend to train with the Indonesian coach Aramat Kurniawane. During the week the athletes train with the coach and president of Asd BC Pietrarossa Patrizia Cataldo.
“An amazing group – says the coach – also thanks to the collaboration of parents who are always present at all the competitions and always ready to help in the management of home tournaments”.
BC Pietrarossa, which has 4 challenge tournaments organized in a short time, is preparing to host its first Grand Prix, a high-level tournament, named after our patron Saint Michael.
The tournaments held brought numerous athletes and technicians from all over Sicily, filled the stands of the building and enriched the curiosity and knowledge of our places and products through stimulating names (Rollo’ Tournament, Pietrarossa Tournament, San Michele Tournament).
Badminton, a now consolidated reality in Caltanissetta (there are two other corporate realities, Asd Koala and Cusn) is a discipline that has also involved and interested the over category with the federal projects in collaboration with sport and health “+ badminton for all”.
Skeptics are invited to try this wonderful sport, inclusive, fun and truly suitable for everyone. Anyone who wants to come and see how it is played can go on December 2nd to the A. Volta Scientific High School where the 2023 provincial championships will take place, organized by the local FIBa delegation.
Greater attention is hoped for by local institutions in order to give greater space for local tournaments and events, often subject to the schedules and competitions of other more well-known disciplines.
