Our Identity
The mission of our organisation is to promote sport as a means of education and personal formation, in keeping with the guiding principle of SPORTFORMA: sport that educates, not just sport that trains.
We value the discipline, autonomy and psychophysical well-being of each person, with a view to all-round, community-based and intergenerational growth. SPORTFORMA is first and foremost a sports community founded in 1995. We do not sell fitness: we cultivate relationships and pathways that shape people through Sport. Here, those who put forward ideas are listened to, and those who take action are never alone. This is the sport we want: the kind that unites us and makes us better. SPORTFORMA was born of a deep need to create a place of fellowship where young people could grow up and where adults, too, could rediscover that sense of belonging and mutual support that goes beyond titles and mere medals. Our volunteers, each with their own professional background, who give their time and experience, are the driving force in passing on and carrying out the best concrete projects for sport and inclusion.
From 1995, with the project "so that sport is not a spectator's life", to "Hic Sunt Leones", meaning "Here there are only lions", which came in through the students of the first boxing team, we have embodied the independence and indomitable spirit that have earned us the esteem and universal recognition of the sporting world, consolidating our reputation; SPORTFORMA, a perfect synthesis of sport and education, reflects our commitment to forming individuals of worth through sport.
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. Since September 2023, SPORTFORMA has evolved from an amateur multi-sport association (Associazione Polisportiva Dilettantistica) into a Social Promotion Association (Associazione di Promozione Sociale), because 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 environm
ent.
SPORTFORMA is an example of how social promotion associations can develop amateur sporting activity independently in order to make a difference, that is, without necessarily having to gather around large national associations and suffer their direct and unfair competition, aimed at attempts to monopolise sporting disciplines in certain areas or cities. Without having to subordinate international sporting activity to a single national consortium.
If there is an organisation where sport and values meet to shape the future of new generations, creating not only athletes but strong, responsible and aware people, it is surely SPORTFORMA!
