There will be 11 national competitions in 2023. They range from those valid for regional teams to the Italian championships which award titles in the various disciplines. Off on January 21st and 22nd with the tricolor indoor para-archery in Faenza
With the new year, the Italian archers will have numerous commitments between technical meetings and international events, but the federal events in which they will take part will also take on great importance. At stake are the Italian titles of the various disciplines and, from a national perspective, because through internal competition they can convince the sector’s technical directors to earn a call-up for the major European and world events. Other events will be dedicated to athletes who are not part of the national groups, but which are necessary to compare the activity carried out by the regional committees: the heartfelt challenges of the Italian Regions Cup and the national final of the Youth Games belong to this category “Pinocchio Trophy”. Finally, space for competitions that highlight the capabilities of individual clubs, such as the Club Championships and the Italian Youth Cup. If the national calendar overall includes hundreds of events that will be held every weekend throughout Italy including inter-regional competitions, exclusively youth ones and regional championships of the various specialties, overall there will be 11 national events and they represent a showcase for the discipline and a tour which takes hundreds of athletes around Italy.
ON TO THE INDOORS
In the winter months we naturally start with indoor competitions. The first appointment will be the indoor Para-Archery tricolors which will be held in Faenza (Ra) on 21 and 22 January, while once again Rimini, at the pavilions of the fair, will host the largest national archery event, the Italian Indoor Championships which, from 9 to 12 March, will have around 1000 archers from every corner of the country on the shooting line. In between these two commitments there will also be space for the Federal Assembly which will take place on 4 and 5 March in Rome and then, with the arrival of spring, the start of the outdoor season.
THE OUTDOOR SEASON
Emilia Romagna will once again be the protagonist for the first federal outdoor event with the Italian Club Team Championships which will be held on 24 and 25 April in Cavriago (Re). Change of region for the Italian Outdoor Para-Archery Championships, scheduled for 27 and 28 May, which return to Florence after those of 2019. The competition which will compare the Italians of the Paralympic national team in search of passes to Paris 2024, will be followed from 17 to 18 June from the National Final of the “Pinocchio Trophy” Youth Games – Odilia Coccato Memorial: the young archers who have earned a starting place with their respective regional teams will meet in Atri, in the province of Teramo. The other event that compares the teams of the regional committees is the event with the highest rate of parochialism: the Italian Regions Cup which will be hosted in Abbadia San Salvatore (Si) from 15 and 16 July and, a week later, between 21 and 23 July, we return to Abruzzo for the Italian Country Shooting Championships in Castel di Sangro (Aq), a useful appointment in view of the Azzurri’s call-ups for the European specialty championships which will be held in Piedmont. In August, from the 24th to the 27th, the Italian Outdoor Championships in Seravezza, in the province of Lucca, will take center stage, with the finals to be played in front of the spectacular scenery of the Medici Palace, a UNESCO heritage site. On this occasion, for the first time, the Italian titles of the bare bow division will also be awarded in addition to the recurve and compound ones. Moving on to the month of September, from the 8th to the 10th, Terni will once again be the protagonist and, after the sumptuous 3D World Championship in 2022, will host the Italian 3D Championships in Polino – one of the smallest municipalities in Italy. The last two federal events of 2023 will be the Italian Masters Cup in Castenaso (Bo) from 6 to 8 October and the Italian Youth Centers Cup which will take place in Latisana (Ud) from 9 to 10 December and will close, as per tradition, the national archery season with the highly anticipated indoor challenge between the best Italian youth sectors.
