Rugby Feltre focuses on Federico Coppa. It is the most important news in the new granata technical organization chart, in which there is also some change in the youth sector. The choice that fell on the Cup wants to give continuity to the work already done in the youth sector by the Feltre technician, who will replace Andrea Barp and who will direct the first training session today.
The new coach is a person of absolute importance in the provincial rugby world, both as a former player and as a coach. .
«The change of the coach», explains the president Paolo Aspodello, «is the result of a consensual will. It is a decision born last season, during which there was a lack of stimuli at various levels. Already in the spring, Barp had indicated that he was unmotivated and that he wanted to do something else. An absolutely legitimate choice, which comes after years of great commitment not only in Feltre but also in other teams ».
Aspodello enters into the coach exchange.
“It was probably a decision that Barp made during difficult times where there didn’t seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel.”
In May we therefore took note of this, evaluating complementary, different or alternative solutions ».
Aspodello then analyzes the reason why he went to the Coppa, the junior team coach.
“Beyond the technical aspects, the goal was to give continuity to a certain movement and knowledge of the boys. Obviously, even before having good technicians, when dealing with kids you must also be good psychologists. So regardless of his rugby skills, one of Federico Coppa’s qualities is the ability to interface with those young players he has always followed ».
It goes without saying that many youngsters, who have arrived in the first team, sometimes drop out for both study and work reasons. A problem common to all Belluno companies.
“The purpose”, continues Aspodello, “is to try to realize that great amount of fruitful work, which we carry out in the youth sectors, making it express in the seniors team”.
The start of the championships includes a series of rules prepared by the Federation.
«Now that the activity has started, there are a series of unknowns related to the green pass, which could affect the presence of some players. On the letter sent by the president of the Federation there is the intention to play with the respect of a series of rules. It is also obvious that we as a company will apply the provisions to the letter ”.
The hope is that of not being in a position to have to stop the business again, as a circumstance of this type would be difficult to overcome by many companies, if it were to happen again. Here is a summary of the technical guides of Feltre.
The first team will then be coached by Federico Coppa, assisted by Simone Canton, Paolo Dall’Agnol, Nicola Gabrielli and Andrea Zannin. The specialist will be Filippo Filippetto.
In Under 19 is the return of Loris Sartor, with whom Massimiliano De Girardi, Denis Zannin will collaborate.
The couple made up of Stefano Vieceli and Enrico Cappelletti is confirmed in the management of the under 17.
The Under 15 team will be entrusted to Alessandro Gerardi, with Silvia Ambrosi and Roberto Bronca.
Also confirmed to Nicola Gabrielli and Francesco Rossi in Under 13, as in Under 11 Marina Troian and Stefano Rech.
The Under 9 will be handled by Lamberto Bonan and Asia Fent, while the Under 7 will be coached by Stefania Schenal and Andrea Casagrande.
Finally, the athletic trainer of the Feltre Rugby teams, with particular reference to work in the gym, will be Andrea Sartor.
