The purple team starts its preseason work.
Back to work. Tenerife has started this week with the first training sessions ahead of what will be the purple club’s fourth consecutive season in the Endesa Women’s League.
The Tenerife club has appeared this morning (Wednesday) to present the start of the preseason, at a press conference attended by Fernando Solórzano, vice president of Tenerife; Claudio García, coach of the first team; and Esther Montenegro, captain of the Endesa Women’s League team, in addition to the rest of the members of both the squad and the coaching staff.
Fernando Solórzano has highlighted the “excitement with which we face this season from the club. It has been a long summer for us, since we were not sure of the category in which we were going to compete”, but once the presence of the club in the Endesa Women’s League was confirmed, “we are looking forward to the season ahead of us”.
Solórzano also emphasized the objective of Clarinos as “a project that leads women’s basketball in Tenerife”, for which the board has made “bobbin lace” economically, because our economic situation is not different from that of others clubs and companies today, to put everything together and move things forward”.
For his part, Claudio García expressed his gratitude “to the players who have trusted in coming here and being part of this project, especially those who have renewed from last year and committed to us without knowing in which category we were going to play. From then on, all the enthusiasm in the world to improve and continue competing in the highest category”.
An Endesa Women’s League that, according to García, “is getting stronger”, so “the first objective has to be to seek permanence”, for which a squad has been formed in which “we have the players we wanted to have; players who adapt to the profile of the club and who make up a good group without ego problems”.
The captain of the purple team, Esther Montenegro, pointed out that the squad “will give everything to be at the top, give a good image and have fun with a sport that we are passionate about and makes us enjoy”, for which its role will be essential to “clothe the new players and that they feel that they are at home”. Good harmony in the group will be crucial, noting that, after the first days of coexistence, “we all get along very well and dance a lot”, so “there will be many Tik Tok this year”, Monty concluded.
The team will continue working this week, with their sights set on their first preparation commitments, on September 9 and 10 with the Ciutat de Inca Tournament.
