Our team

Since 2017 our 5 girls have started participating in rallies (for training) around Italy and competitions, achieving important if not often the best results.
So far they have collected two first places, at the World Rafting Championship in Italy in 2018 and the following year at the World Cup Zubin Potok in Kosovo.
Also in 2019 they won sixth place at the Senior World Championships in Turkey.
Our goal has always been to develop and promote the sport of Rafting, with the vision of trying to achieve maximum results.
And this happens through the search for young talents and the development of their qualities aimed at the high level.
