The idea of Claudio, Alessandro and Stefano, three friends previously involved with sports and cultural activities, gave rise to the S.I.L. (Sport Insieme Livorno). Playing sport "together"(Insieme) with competitive attitude, but above all considering it a moment of social participation among people, apart from physical and mental qualities, is one of the main purposes in the beliefs of the association.
Same chances for everyone in playing sports equally.
It is now universally recognised the importance of sport in the process of growth and preservation of psycho - physical balance, and its weight as a means of information about the problems regarding the world of handicap.

Wheelchair tennis is the foremost sport the association cares about.
Since 1993 the International Tournament "Cittą di Livorno", that takes
place in Livorno every year during the first week of September, is the
best event set up by the association. S.I.L. tennis school, at the Tennis
Club Libertas Sport, (which is the tournament centre as well), is of
national importance for all of those who want to play tennis leaving
aside small or big motion deficiencies. S.I.L. cares also about: sailing,
cycling, athletics, swimming and winter's sports; everybody can even
take part in cultural activities like painting, informatics and foreign
languages (at the new association's centre).It wouldn't be possible
to set up all |
