Exquisito trato humano de Point Up Eventos

En el I OPEN Centro Comercial Tamarana de Tenis playa , Voley y Palas Playa que se está disputando en la playa de Las Alcaravaneras desde el 22 hasta el 30 de Mayo queremos hacer constar el excelente trato humano dispensado por los organizadores Diego Gil y Cristina Ramírez así como el conjunto de compañeros que trabaja allí.
.
Hacía tiempo que no veía un trato tan afable, cordial y cercano en la organización de eventos deportivos que muchas veces por el stress de la organización del evento da lugar a tiranteces, a ser algo ariscos, etc. Todo lo contrario en este grupo humano que acabo de conocer y que por su predisposición a poner las cosas fáciles, la sonrisa en sus caras, el diálogo amigo,..... la disposición a ayudarte en cuanto necesites, etc.
.
Aprovecho para decir que ya se está entrando en la fase final del torneo, en el que mañana Viernes ya se disputarán los cuartos y las semis de las distintas categorías de los 3 deportes para dar lugar al Sábado a las finales interesantes que van a dar lugar al deleite del público y a la consagración de los esfuerzos de las parejas implicadas en dichas finales.
.
Enhorabuena pues a la organización, seguid trabajando así que lograréis que en cada torneo de ustedes se vayan apuntando cada vez más gente pues lo más importante en un torneo además claro está de una buena organización, es el trato humano entre ustedes y los participantes, y éste ha sido excelente. Deseando apuntarme como tanta gente que me ha comentado en otro torneo de ustedes, suerte en vuestro quehacer y hasta pronto, un abrazo
Nino.

Novak Djokovic together to Beach Tennis in Rome in the Foro at Master Series 1000 on May

Novak Djokovic in Rome at Master Series 1000 together to Nino
.
I had the pleasure to met Novak Djokovic on May in the Master Series 1000 in Rome where he got the final against Rafa Nadal. He was the last champion of Master Serie in Rome last year 2008. He is a nice person as he looks like in television and he was very kind with us.
.
I taked an autograph of him to my son Christian. He looks like younger that he really is (21) and taller than he appears in T.V. I really liked his play in the final but our Rafa Nadal, known in Italy as "The Wall " can nowadays against all the players.
.
We hope some day to meet again and play some points in beach tennis, the best luck to you in your professional career.
Nino

Con éxito de participación y de dirección ha comenzado el Trofeo Rector de La Universidad de Las Palmas de G.C. en la playa de las Alcaravenaras hoy Sábado 9 de Mayo con la instalación de 5 pistas y el buen ambiente vivido en el día de hoy.
.
Han participado un nutrido grupo de estudiantes universitarios, principalmente de la carrera de Educación Física aunque no exclusivamente pudiendo ver a 5 estudiantes de otras carreras como a Pedro que estudia Ingeniería, etc.
.
Todos tuvieron la oportunidad de jugar al menos 2 partidos.Hubo disponibilidad total de la gente y el horario del cuadro se llevó puntualmente por lo que chapó al organizador Javier Torrent y a los participantes por cumplir con sus horarios.
.
En total han participado 40 parejas de las cuales 8 están en femeninas, 10 en mixtos y 22 en masculinos. El número de participantes asciende a un montante total de 62 personas de las cuales 17 son chicas y 45 chicos.
.
El premio para los campeones será además del trofeo, la inscripción gratuita en el siguiente torneo de beach tennis organizado por Pointupeventos y patrocinado por Centro Comercial Tamarana y que se disputará del 22 al 30 de mayo en la playa de las Alcaravaneras.
.
Pese al sol y al viento, la gente se lo pasó genial y le gustó participar en el torneo, ya que se creó un buen rollo entre todos, mucha deportividad, y comunicando los participantes que quieren repetir.
.
La alegría de este Trofeo Rector es que salvo 7 jugadores, Javier Torrent, Román Acosta, Natalia Cabrera, Tere Fuentes, Pedro Canino, Luis Rodríguez y Javier Hernández que ya son jugarores veteranos en estas lides, los demás (55) son principiantes en este deporte que está en auge, por lo que la satisfacción es enorme al comprobar cómo está creciendo este deporte en Gran Canaria contando ya con más de 200 practicantes.
.
Felicitar a Javier Torrent por la dirección del evento, por la buena organización que ha llevado en la planificación de este torneo que se disputará este fin de semana y el siguiente en la playa de las Alcaravaneras justo al lado del muelle deportivo contando con 5 pistas instaladas.
.
Javier Torrent es un alumno de 5º curso de Educación Física que ha apostado por entrar el beach tennis en La Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria colaborando así en la expansión de este deporte. No sólo ha organizado este evento sino que también ha impartido unas clases teóricas y prácticas en La Facultad de Ciencias de La Actividad Física y del Deporte a un grupo de 100 alumnos. Clases que son la primera vez que se imparte en la Universidad de Las Palmas de G.C. y a nivel nacional en la asignatura de Fundamentos de Raquetas.

We are again in Canary Islands after Rome

I want to apologize to all the beach tennis players or lovers followers of this web because I have been in Rome compiting the 1st WorldChampionships of beach tennis ITF and I came back tonight.
.
Since today Friday I will put to you up to date about all what happened this week. I have felt nostalgia of writing about news of beach tennis in Rome, about our experience there and the happiness of meeting nice people there and the reunion of friends of beach tennis. See you today Friday, a hug
Nino.

A big shit Beach Tennis School of Fregene

I want to communicate to all the lovers of beach tennis the despicable behaviour of Beach Tennis School of Fregene with the world of beach tennis because this weekend they organized and international event and they didnt permit to play to two couples that came from Germany ( Oliver Munz and Alexander Stahle ) and Spain ( Nino Mireles and Roman Dopico ) that bought a ticket to fly from our countries to Italy and they didnt allow to play because we wasnt in a list, and in the draw of 32 couples, 3 couples didnt appear in the event, so there were 3 free places.
.
It is a shame what Mardo Ludovici and Paolo Tazzari have made with this couples, and in general with the world of Beach Tennis. I advice to all the beach tennis players that dont go to the tournaments that organize Beach Tennis School. I augure to them a bad future in their management of Beach Tennis. They dont love beach tennis, they dont want to promote beach tennis.
.
It is inadmissible and unacceptable what they have made. Now I understand why FIT sanctioned Paolo Tazzari one month without playing beach tennis in order to bad behaviour in the court playing beach tennis. And of course, worst behaviour outside courts.
.
With persons as Marco Ludovici and Paolo Tazzari the world of beach tennis will be dead in a few years. This 2 couples, from Germany and Spain talked to Cristiano Lucaroni, a responsible of beach tennis in FIT ( Federazione Italiana Tennis ) about to do the inscription. We obey with the conditions to can play there, but at the end we wasnt in the list, and they didnt want to accept inclusive when 3 couples didnt appear. And the origin of a list is to permit correct it and change it. But anyway wiht 2 couples that came since far away, from other countries, it is absurd dont permit to play to them.
.
Please Marco Ludovici and Paolo Tazzari, give out Beach Tennis in order to the beach tennis continued growing. You dont love beach tennis, you hate beach tennis. Please close your school because the word school is something that you never could to understand with yours attitudes.
.
I want to give thanks to people as Nico Esposito, Patrizia ( the owner of Coqui Beach Fregene ) and two women friends of her that help us trying to resolve the situation but the obstinacy of those unpresentable of Marco Ludovici and Paolo Tazzari didnt permit to resolve favourably the situation. Too to Cristiano Lucaroni that paid us the accomodation this weekend in Rome.

Aline Sokolik and Joana Cortez from Brazil one of the favourites women couples to win in Rome

Joana Cortez, Mauro Tuacris & Aline Sokolid from Brazil in Rome

One of the women couples favourites to win the 1st WorldChampionships of Beach Tennis ITF in Rome is the couple formed by Joana Cortez and Aline Sokoliz. They began to play beach tennis last year and they played last summer in Marina di Ravenna the WorldChampionships of Beach Tennis IFBT and nowadays they have a high level, demostrating with their touch that they come from tennis.
.
Joana Cortez is left handed player and she has a good smash and Aline Sokoliz has a strong service, I augure to them that they will be between the favourites to win the tournament together to Spain, Italy and Belaraus. Besides to be a good players they are very symphatic and nice people. Mauro is their manager and the responsible for this team and an organizer of beach tennis in Rio de Janeiro.
.
Best luck to this Brazilian couple,

Nino.
