MILAN – The first Inter Grassroots Program get-together for goalkeepers was held at the Centro Sportivo Giacinto Facchetti on Monday.
F.C. Internazionale's academy training ground played host to 50 instructors hailing from 17 IGP partner clubs in Lombardy and five Development Centres.
Nerazzurri academy goalkeeping coaches and athletic trainers were on hand to welcome the instructors as well as 81 budding goalies (born in 2003 and 2004) from clubs who have joined the Inter Grassroots Program.
The afternoon was spent working on specific goalkeeping technique and motor-coordination skills under the watchful eyes of Inter's academy staff, whose job it is to share the club's methodology and technical planning with IGP partner clubs.
After watching the training sessions with the youngsters, eight Nerazzurri coaches then held meetings with a number of IGP clubs to present the new project to everyone involved.
Stefano Bellinzaghi travelled to Cosenza to visit Real Cosenza, Academy Lamezia and Interizziconi, Marco Sala saw Matheola Matera in Matera, Fabio Sacco and Massimo Morabito visited ADC Eclisse Carenipievigina in Pieve di Soligo, Fabio Pesatori and Corrado Giannini met with US Reggio Calcio ASD and Inter Club Parma, Giuseppe Giavardi made the trip to Altopascio to meet IGP Development Centre Tau Calcio and clubs Armando Picchi Calcio and ASD Pistoia Nord, while Bruno Casiraghi was at US Filottranese ASD in Filottrano.
