Growth also comes – and above all – from national calls. Those that certify the daily, silent and patient work carried out on the fields of the youth sector. In the Dolomiti Bellunesi home, important signals are arriving from the Serie C representatives, who in recent months have turned the spotlight on several kids from the Dolomite academy.
In January, Andrea De Gasperin responded to the call of the Under 16 selection, taking part in the friendly match played against Como of the same age. A high-level training experience, useful for dealing with leading realities and for acquiring awareness in a high-profile context.
More recent, however, was the call-up of the Under 15s, in which Riccardo Cappellin and Niccolò Leone De Martin Schifano participated, engaged in a friendly test against Cesena. Also in this case, a significant test, which testifies to the continuity of the work carried out by the club on the youth front.
These are not isolated incidents. Already last October, several athletes from the Belluno Dolomites had been called to the selection stage of the Serie C representatives: Somacal and Russolo for the Under 17s, Schenal and again De Gasperin for the Under 16s, as well as Cappellin for the Under 15s.
In any case, the invitations certainly do not represent a point of arrival, but rather a stage in a broader journey. The club chaired by Paolo De Cian, in fact, continues to invest in the technical and human training of its young people, with the aim of accompanying them in a process of gradual growth, made up of experiences, comparisons and responsibilities.
Wearing the shirt of a Serie C representative means entering a high profile circuit, but also taking on the commitment to confirm, day after day, what is on display. For young people from the Dolomites it is a further stimulus. And, for the company, a confirmation: the path taken is the right one.
