Concretely confirming the desire to guarantee maximum impetus to the activity of the youth sector directed by Orazio Russo, in the 2023/2024 sports season Catania presents seven teams from its "infantry" at the starting line.
The attention to the development of the young footballer involves the adoption of methodologies developed with the contribution of two professionals at the service of the first team: the coordinator of the medical area, Doctor Francesco Riso, and the coordinator of the athletic training and high performance area, Professor Giovanni Petralia.
Michele Zeoli, Marco Biagianti and Santo Torre have the task of directing the three teams involved in national tournaments; Giovanni Costanzo and Guglielmo Gravino lead the teams to the starting line in the under 17 and under 15 regional championships.
Also on the field are the boys born in the two-year period 2011-2012 and 2013-2014, under the orders of Vincenzo Ardita and Andrea Cavalli respectively.
