ASD Circolo Magona: Tennis, Padel and much more in Piombino!

The ASD Circolo Magona of Piombino is much more than a sports and recreational club: it is a place of cooperation, volunteering and mutual support. This is also possible thanks to Giuseppe, president of the sports center, where tennis, padel, beach volleyball, beach tennis, beach soccer and archery are practiced and taught.

When we visited the club, Giuseppe welcomed us with joy and hospitality, making us feel part of a big family. “Everyone is welcome here, from members to supporters, up to those who choose Piombino for active holidays and are looking for a bit of fun in a healthy and welcoming environment!”

As soon as we arrive, Giuseppe invites us to follow him. “I want to show you the club, the activities and let you meet the instructors and teachers in person!” We immediately notice how much he cares about communicating the purpose of ASD Magona with particular clarity. “The club promotes the area with social activities, providing facilities for sporting, cultural and recreational activities, such as painting and photography courses.”

Giuseppe is the perfect example of what we want to promote: passionate about Piombino and the Val di Cornia, committed to enhancing these extraordinary places with his concrete contribution.

Obviously he is not alone and all this is possible thanks to the indispensable help of collaborators, members and volunteers, as he explains:“Ours is a big family and everyone is committed to creating a place where anyone can feel at ease, finding entertainment, passion and the light-heartedness necessary to relax from daily commitments.”

A story that began in the 1950s

“The Circolo Magona was founded in 1950 as a company club of the La Magona d’Italia factory in Piombino”, Giuseppe tells us, showing us the various sports fields. “From its inception the objective was topromote sporting and cultural activities for its employees, supporting the activities promoted in the area by the municipality’s sports department andCONI.”

In 1990, after the sale of the land, the ASD Circolo Magona was born, which opened its activities to all citizens. But the original objectives of promotion and aggregation do not change. “Of course not, far from it. Since then everything has been done on a non-profit basis, thanks to the contribution of many voluntary members who support themselves financially.”

“In 2015 we transformed the outdoor bowling alleys into slopes for sporting and historical archery, allowing local archers to train locally, also for events such as the Palio di S. Anastasia.” he tells us about it with pride. “It is a great honor for us to support the activities of Serena Gazzola, who joined the Italian national team and won many regional, national and world titles for FIDASC and FITARCO.
Obviously we offer the possibility of attending courses and lessons for children, teenagers and adults, both beginners and athletes, with instructors and masters of recognized professionalism at a national level.”
