PROJECTS FOR SPORT

Always out on the pitch to promote the culture of sport.
Fair play, respect, inclusiveness, safety are values that we share with the world of sport; this is why we support sport and its educational role through a number of sponsorships to both amateur and professional sports clubs and their associated cultural initiatives.

We are the main sponsor of the Cagliari Football Academy, the academy of the Cagliari Football Club that joins together 41 football schools to act as a point of reference for young Sardinian footballers and foster their talent and personal growth, seeing sport as a driver of individual development.

We support the Saras Football Academy Tournament, whose participants are the clubs affiliated to the Cagliari Football Academy, from all over Sardinia: the last edition was played by 32 teams, about 500 small players aged 10 and 11: a great sports event for the young talents, supported by their managers, families and fans.

The project for child footballers implemented by the Saras Group with Cagliari Calcio involved more than 120 coaches who participated in the seminar of the Cagliari Football Academy. The aim of the seminar was to train the coaches on fostering the proper mental and physical development of the young footballers – aged between 6 and 12 – of the Cagliari Football Academy.

Another contribution to the growth of child players, developed by Saras in partnership with the Cagliari Football Academy.

Another recent project is “Road to Sardegna Arena“, a football talent show broadcast on Sky television. The idea of the Cagliari Calcio and the Olbia Calcio clubs, in collaboration with Saras, the main sponsor of the initiative, is to reward young footballers who display both talent and fair play and sportsmanship with the possibility of wearing Cagliari and Olbia jerseys next year and joining the two clubs’ youth sectors.

‘Gioventù Sarroch’, a recently established football club in the town of Sarroch, aims to promote the game of football and its values among young people and to nurture young talents. The club’s members are registered with the national football federation and are covered by insurance during training and matches.

We sponsor the Sarroch Polisportiva Volley 2005 which has 100 players aged 5 to 30; the men’s team, one of the strongest in Sardinia, plays in the ‘series B’ national championship, while the Under 12 and Under 13 girls’ teams have won two provincial titles.

Amatori Rugby Capoterra, founded in 1972 with the aim of spreading the practice of rugby in Sardinia is a leading club of this great sport and competes in the ‘series B’ national championship.

These sports clubs originate in the local communities, have thriving youth sectors and partner with local schools on projects to promote sports in education. This is why our Group is proud to help these clubs to grow as sports training centres for young people.

Through its operations and their spinoffs that also touch on other sectors, Sarlux generates social, cultural and knowledge value in the territories where it operates. Working in close cooperation with the city council and local promotion office (Proloco) of Sarroch, Sarlux generates value while respecting people.

There are 20 amateur sports associations in Sarroch, counting about 700 members including adults and children, with brilliant results in the most varied sports, from canoeing to taekwondo. ‘Saras for sports’ provides financial support to those clubs that distinguish themselves through achievements in their sport or social inclusion initiatives.

Under the ‘Safe Sport’ scheme, each of the six sports facilities in the town of Sarroch (see Google Maps) has been equipped with a defibrillator. Thanks to this initiative, which also included first aid and defibrillation training courses delivered to the staff of each of the facilities, sportspeople in Sarroch can practise their activity safely.

‘Sarroch – Sport without borders’, organised by the Saras CRAL (workers’ club), demonstrates the role of sport in generating a sense of community: mixed teams from the local clubs compete for three days in beach tennis, football, volleyball, basketball, tennis and taekwondo.
