The youth sector of Rapallo Water Polo continues its growth path with enthusiasm, with small steps and with enormous sacrifices one of the most important realities of national water polo is being rebuilt.
Among a thousand difficulties, in a period of profound crisis for the entire pink water polo sector, as certified by the discouraging numbers of new members, everyone at RPN agrees on the fundamental role played by the youth teams and on the need to invest time and resources for the future. This is why we work hard to always find new solutions, create development and competition opportunities, and strategies to recruit and grow new talent. In the past, Rapallo has already entered into agreements with other clubs, as in the case of Venere Azzurra della Spezia, to give greater impetus to the
movement, convinced that in times of difficulty we must overcome parochial logic and that unity is strength. The road is clear, the path is long and arduous but with dedication and passion we can and must work for the future.
