The tournament was born with the aim of support operators and volunteers that, with the end of schools and the extra-curricular activities, face the problem of organizing children’s free time, considering the scarce economic resources and not always suitable spaces.
Within the years the tournament has become a summer fixed appointment for the young hosts of the community homes that, thanks to it, have the opportunity of practicing sports, facing with other youg people and different realities from the ones they usually live.
The initiative, patrocinated by the Municipality of Bologna and the Emilia-Romagna Region, has been organized during the years with the contribution of important local companies and the support of various local sports clubs.
All the activities are conceived and organized with the aim of promoting sport and his values: from the assignment of the prizes that point to the values showed on field and not to the sporting result, to the meetings with sport champions and the venture «School of Cheer».
