All student-athletes are registered with VeloceMente Academy, competing alongside our partner club throughout the season.
Registration includes membership with the Italian Athletics Federation (FIDAL), making athletes eligible for official meets at the Provincial, Regional, and National level.
Season Timing: Meets are available almost every weekend, running across the key periods of September, October, January, April, and May.
Indoor Season (Jan–Feb): Approximately 2–3 meets in the Lazio region.
Outdoor Season (Apr–May): Approximately 5–7 meets in Rome and nearby cities.

Student-athletes train at Stadio Paolo Rosi, with morning field sessions held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, plus dedicated gym sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays. High-interest athletes can also pursue a second practice every afternoon between 5:00 and 8:00 PM with the coaching staff, depending on their class schedule and academic performance.

It has not only built my personal relationships but has also greatly improved my professional skills.
