SPORTFORMA: an Association that is a lifetime spent in education through sport.
"Sport is part of every man and every woman's heritage and its absence can never be compensated for. " – Pierre de Coubertin
SPORTFORMA is a sports and social association founded in 1995. Since its beginnings it has undergone continuous evolution, devoting skills and resources to creating a safe and educational environment for young people, with the support of family members and friends who believed in the project.
Among the historical founders, the current president, Guido Carli, was the very person who gave our organisation the name SPORTFORMA; from the very beginning he was guided by a clear vision: champions — in sport as in life — need sacred places where they can test themselves, train consistently and come together in sharing. “Sport forms men, athletes and champions, examples for others”.
From this came his deep desire to build protected spaces, where training would also mean growing together, forming genuine bonds and supporting one another at every stage of life.
From the outset, one of the aims of Guido Carli, the principal founder, was to create safe places where members could spend their time meeting one another, grow and build lasting bonds, supporting each other at every stage of their lives. Starting from sporting competitions as a means of representing the challenges of everyday life.
A motto that guides our young athletes is: “Put your hand to great dreams to see them come true.” And this philosophy has proved successful over the last 30 years, inspiring generations of young people to pursue their goals.
Over the years we have welcomed many young people, often accompanied by their parents, who have become involved in the association's activities. The community spirit that has grown up has also included grandparents, creating an intergenerational network that has found in SPORTFORMA a safe and welcoming point of reference. Many of our more senior members have even launched projects and events, testifying to the strength of our inclusive environment.
It is a true family that welcomes and supports people at every age. With its long history and its commitment to creating opportunities for young athletes, as well as to promoting healthy values and solidarity, it has a deep positive impact on the community.
Every activity it organises goes beyond sport alone: it is an opportunity to learn, to grow and to be part of a network of mutual support. The young people and athletes who attend SPORTFORMA have the opportunity to develop their abilities, and also to learn values such as discipline, respect and solidarity. Families can rest assured, knowing that their children are in a safe, positive and stimulating environment.
SPORTFORMA is an example of how social promotion associations can develop amateur sporting activity to make a difference, creating not only athletes but strong, responsible and aware people. If there is a place where sport and values meet to shape the future of new generations, it is surely SPORTFORMA!
Our Commitment
SPORTFORMA is not limited to sport alone, but has extended its influence to other fields as well. We have contributed actively to the entertainment world, selecting and providing people for film castings and for sporting events. We have also supported the organisation of major public events and gatherings, helping to bring to life projects that involve the community in a meaningful way.
Another important aspect of our commitment has been the support given to athletes and citizens taking part in public competitive examinations that required physical aptitude tests for entry into the armed forces or other professions. This is just one example of our versatile approach, which makes the most of our members' skills in different fields.
Beyond these projects, SPORTFORMA has always paid particular attention to solidarity and social inclusion. We have worked closely with families, promoting social reintegration initiatives and offering new opportunities to people facing difficult situations. The integration and well-being of every individual are at the heart of our mission.
The beating heart of SPORTFORMA is the Carli family, who, with passion and dedication, guide and inspire a network of volunteers and professionals. Our tutors, who come from the world of sport and from other backgrounds, pass on their knowledge and their passion to foster the growth of our members, in a welcoming and supportive environment.
