In fact, Birra Castello wants to exalt the “third time” that is in the DNA of this sport, that is, sociality, fun and being together even outside the field. It is a team game with Padel and FIT that moves from a sharing of values and the spirit that animates this sport and those who practice it. Our commitment, moreover, has a social value because through collaboration with the clubs we want to encourage the rooting of this sport in the territories and especially promote the practice of sports in the community that is a fundamental aspect for young people and not only”.
