Descrierea organizației

The Olympic centre was established in 1955 and since then it has allowed to practice both social and competitive table tennis. It follows the principles of the European Chart of Sport (Rodi 1992) and for this reason it turns to youth, adults and seniors with no discrimination based on sex, race, religion or position.
Main goals of the organization are integration, socialization, education, physical activities, competitive sport activities, promotion of diversity, tolerance and respect, critical thinking, initiative spirit of youth and prevention of violent radicalization.
Our organization carries out different activities for 120 members from 8 to 78 years old, of which, 50% is under the age of 18, males and females, both with disabilities and without, both Italians and foreigners. In addition, we work closely with local schools of Senigallia, with Social Services of the town hall, with different charities for special needs children and with the Italian table tennis federation. Part of the activities includes regional and national tournaments, training and teaching modules, recreational games and leisure activities.
In the last years, with the support of the European volunteers, we have increased the cooperation with schools. Due to the world pandemic, the Centre has decided to reshape some activities, especially those that are connected with the cooperation with schools: social distancing, in fact, is not easy for many small schools; that is why we have decided to offer them the possibility to use our Centre for their classes of physical education.
Moreover, we have also decided to give more space to sport activities for adults and for the elderly: the technical director (former national trainer) is researching and implementing sport as a tool to increase physical and psychological mobility in adults and in old people. Therefore, there is now less focus on competition and more attention to sport also as a therapy.
