Many topics were covered during the meeting: obviously the various stages of the Italian Absolute and Youth Championships, the Italian Club Championship which ended at the end of May and the state of health of the entire beach volleyball movement were discussed. Space was also dedicated to the various Futures events scheduled in Italy and to all international activity, with an eye towards the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

For the champion from Ortona Paolo Nicolai “The growth of the beach volleyball movement and of the tournaments held in Italy is there for all to see. The increase in beach volleyball players, clubs, schools and events is a very positive aspect for our sport. We are now in Latvia to play a new Beach Pro Tour tournament. Clearly we will take the field to try to get to the end and maybe win this stage. We are fully convinced of our means and therefore I am very confident about the continuation of the season. There are many tournaments to play and, the general classification is very short, there are many pairs collected in a handful of points. We are working to better prepare one of the key events of the season such as the European Championships scheduled for August”.
