The Italian city of Florence hosted the inaugural edition of the Drop & Roll Rugby Summer Academy, bringing together scores of talented youngsters from all over Italy, Switzerland as well as three promising rugby players from Malta. The Maltese participants were Kavallieri’s U-14 players Neil Cutajar, Samuel Zammit and Jake Pace. Their week-long stay in Tuscany proved to be a life-changing experience, with professionally co-ordinated training sessions twice a day and thoroughly-planned nutrition. The boys also had the opportunity to meet international rugby professionals Sergio Parisse (picture), Sergio Zanni, Luciano Orquera and Simone Favaro who assisted the youths in their day-to-day training.
