Circolo Nautico Posillipo is seeking a generational renewal, combining sporting activity and club social life with tradition and innovation. The approach was described by Alessandro Amirante, who oversees youth policy, as the way to train the club's future pillars: "Così prepariamo i pilastri del futuro."
The strategy is backed by president Stefano Postiglione, vice presidents Marilisa Varrone and Igino Della Volpe, and the club's board of directors.
A renewal built on sport and club life
The club's stated aim is to involve younger generations more directly in both sport and the daily life of the club. Rather than focusing on a single discipline, the leadership presents youth participation as a central part of Posillipo's future identity.
The original report in Il Mattino frames the message around an end-of-summer celebration, but it does not specify the programme, date, or practical arrangements for that event.
Posillipo MultiSport: ages 8 to 12
The most concrete part of the youth project is Posillipo MultiSport, a pre-competitive programme for girls and boys aged 8 to 12.
Participants try several of the club's disciplines in rotation: canoeing, rowing, swimming, water polo, fencing and sailing. The activities are organised in three named tracks — On Board, Acqua & Barca, and Terra & Acqua — and run from September to June.
The structure is designed to help young participants discover which discipline best fits their aptitudes and preferences before choosing a competitive path.
Water polo and the youth sector
Water polo shows how the club intends to apply the same youth focus to its competitive sides. For the 2026–2027 season, club officials said they are working on bringing young players into the squad and lowering the average age of the team.
The growth of the youth sector is presented as an important resource for the club's future and as an element connected to the first team. The sources do not describe this as a guaranteed progression from youth teams to senior selection.
What readers should know before asking about enrolment
The available sources do not provide figures on enrolment, participation in youth activities, or results achieved so far by MultiSport. They also do not say whether the youth opening involves changes to membership fees, admission criteria, facilities, or whether MultiSport is available to non-members and under what conditions.
Anyone interested should therefore contact Circolo Nautico Posillipo, Via Posillipo 5 in Naples, directly for current eligibility, availability and practical details.
