It benefited around thirty coaches from all regions of Italy and practicing in all clubs. But more than anything, the Italian wrestling federation seized the opportunity of this training to train its local experts with the aim of using them in its next dynamic of promotion of the federal education which it intends to put in place very soon. Thus, around thirty club coaches from all regions were invited to set up the new system.
