ART. 2) PURPOSE AND ACTIVITIES

The Association pursues non-profit, civic, solidarity and socially useful purposes and bases its institutional and associative activities on the constitutional principles of democracy, social participation and subsidiarity.
In particular, the Association

2. supports the educational values of sport and its social role in promoting a culture of rights, legality, solidarity, integration, inclusion and social cohesion;
3. welcomes and promotes voluntary experiences
4. aims its initiatives at socialisation, the maturation of a critical conscience, ethical discernment, the exercise of responsibility and the expression of the dignity of the human person.
As an ASD, the Association agrees to comply unconditionally with the principles of the general and sporting order and conforms to the rules and directives of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI), as well as to the statutes and regulations of the Unione Sportiva ACLI as a sports promotion body recognised by CONI and the Italian Paralympic Committee (C.I.P.).
In the pursuit of its purposes, the Association organises and manages amateur sports activities, including training, teaching, preparation and assistance for amateur sports activities, with particular reference to the activities
