Sports, friendship and fun: this year too Marina di Carrara hosts the Jam Camp. The pavilions of Imm-CarraraFiere in recent weeks have once again opened their doors to the volleyball and basketball event that involves many girls and boys from all over Italy together with internationally renowned champions and coaches. For the Jam Camp, the 2024 edition is the 28th, the 18th in Marina di Carrara. The event is a 360-degree sports-educational project that promotes sports practice as ‘active’ fun and a model for a correct and healthy lifestyle, encouraging the practice of sports activities in young people in the 8-18 age group. The Jam Camp has always brought children and young people closer to active sports practice, encouraging them to practice constant sports and physical activity, distancing them from the prospect of a sedentary lifestyle. It also represents an educational, emotional and unforgettable experience for those involved, promoting social aggregation and inclusion thanks to sport and recreational activities that include, outside the playing field, sharing moments of leisure on the beach, in the swimming pool, in themed evenings and in short excursions in the host location, for the kids a strong stimulus towards conscious choices such as a permanently active life, the valorization of diversity and inclusion, solidarity, tolerance and fair play, inside and outside the playing field. “We are very proud of the work done in all these years in Marina di Carrara. This splendid location has been the ‘jewel in the crown’ of our tour for 18 years! – declares Roberto Milocco, founder of the Jam Camp -. We can calmly affirm that Marina di Carrara is now a point of reference for European youth sports and we are truly grateful to the municipal administration and the Sports Councilor, for having supported us once again in this exciting adventure. We are very happy with the active participation of so many young athletes from Carrara and of excellent local technicians who have always shared the spirit of the Jam Camp with us. Feeling the bond and affection of the territory, its people and institutions is truly very motivating, and pushes us to give our best year after year”. “It is a pleasure and an honor for us to host the Jam Camp again this year, a high-level event that manages to involve many young people and very young people – adds Mayor Serena Arrighi -. Thanks therefore to the organizers, technicians, educators, all participants and their families for making these weeks a point of reference for national basketball and volleyball”.
“The Jam Camp has become a jewel in the crown for Carrara itself and we are truly happy with what we have managed to create over all these years,” explains Sports Councilor Lara Benfatto. “This event, like many others that are now organized throughout the year, demonstrates once again the potential of a structure like Imm-CarraraFiere, a structure that we believe is perfectly suited to this type of sporting event and that, in the future, we hope will increasingly become a point of reference for many different disciplines.”
The Jam Camp’s high-level technical-competitive activities include training, tournaments, courses, meetings, individual and team races and competitions. The programs are diversified based on the age, technical level of the participants and technical growth objectives: ‘minis’ and introduction, advanced, ‘for girls’, masterclass, with training sessions based on a technical-didactic program that places particular attention on the educational and aggregative value of sports practice, on the promotion of physical activity for a correct and healthy lifestyle to protect health. With its prestige as a leading international event, and constant communication throughout the year, the Jam Camp also represents an exceptional promotional vehicle for the environmental and cultural heritage of the host location, thanks to extensive communication and promotion activities at a national and international level.
In recent years, dozens and dozens of volleyball and basketball champions directed by the famous Massimo Barbolini and Dan Peterson have attended the Jam Camp on the Apuan Riviera, and this year presences such as Matey Kazyinsky, Robertlandy Simon, Katerina Antropova, Enrica Merlo, Paolo Porro, Francesca Ferretti, Tommy Stefani, Damiano Catania and the Allianz Powervolley Milano staff for volleyball, for basketball Dan Peterson, who will be present for the entire period, coach Mike Fratello NBA legend, Frank Gioffrè, Ratko Mihailovic, Andrea Vicenzutto, Briana Green and Tay Fisher from the Harlem Globetrotters promise an even more explosive edition! The champions hosted at the Jam Camp live the experience in close contact with the participants and represent a real ‘positive model’ to concretely inspire not only with regards to the strict sporting sphere, but also because they embody the tangible example of how sacrifice, in respect of the rules and others, leads to the achievement of one’s goals. goals, in sports as in life. The availability of champions to teach and spend a lot of time with ‘our’ kids, often joining them and including them in their daily life at the Jam Camp, represents one of the most effective methods to help young participants assimilate the healthiest values of sport and indicate the best path to follow for their growth path.
The Marina di Carrara Jam Camp takes place in the Imm-CarraraFiere structure which for the occasion sees its pavilions transformed into an enormous ‘sports village’, with the setting up of up to 64 playing fields, for a total of over 20 thousand square meters of extension for this gigantic ‘indoor’ playground that represents a unique sports village at a European level. A successful combination for a one-of-a-kind event.
