History
The Minirugby X Nations was born from the desire to create a tournament of minirugby inspired by the great tradition of Six Nations Rugby. Even from the first edition in 2015, we received requests from more than six nations: and in only a short time we have expanded, involving 11 nations in the last edition, 700 kids and over 3000 people from all over Europe.
Sustainability
For the Minirugby X Nations tournament we respect sustainabilty and with consideration for children. Smoking is not permitted in and cars are not able to enter the area (there will be a shuttle system from the main carparks in town). There will be a careful system of rubbish differenciation to minimise environmental impact. Finally, every guest will have a cup they can refill at public water fountains that are free for everyone.
Safety
A secutiry service is guarenteed by volunteers of the Carabinieri and Civil Defence. In every sporting area there will be a doctor and an ambulance available and the hospital is two minutes from the venue. Every year the organisation leaves a safety plan with Council to assure the correct carrying out of the event.
