A good number of young waterpolo players from various clubs recently took part in the Go Calcaterra Waterpolo Camp, organised jointly by the Sliema ASC nursery and former Italy national team great Roberto Calcaterra.

The camp consisted of five sessions, all held at the National Pool in Tal-Qroqq.

Calcaterra, a world champion and Olympic bronze medallist with the Azzurri national team, was assisted by local coaches as well as Sliema players who took to the water and provided individual attention to the young participants while demonstrating specific technical skills.

At the end of the training camp, Calcaterra expressed his satisfaction at the level of organisation and commitment shown by the trainees.

He was also impressed with the local talent and told his associates he was hoping to be able to organise similar training camps here in the near future.
