Skogås HK tar in landslagsspelare på provspel

Neil Gruppetta iväg på en svensk handbollsupplevelse

U20-landslagsspelaren Neil Gruppetta ska under några månader få smaka på den svenska #handbollsskolan, då han om några dagar åker till Stockholm som en del av ett samarbete med #JosefBredellTrainingCamp och #Skogås Handbollsklubb.

Denna inbjudan kommer att ge Neil möjlighet att träna med Skogås Handbollsklubb samt några andra klubbar baserade i Stockholmsområdet. Neil Gruppetta har nyligen utsetts i All-Star seniorlaget av Malta Handball Association som den valde mittnian, förutom att ha blivit utsedd till MVP i kategorin U21 Herrligan.

Vi hoppas att detta är en start på ett långsiktigt samarbete.

Välkommen Neil Gruppetta

Läs hans tankar om resan till Sverige

After 10 years playing handball with a passion, I have been given the opportunity to play the sport in the home of the European champions, Sweden. With just a week left, pre-season training is in full swing in order to be physically prepared for the new experience. I am ready and excited to play with many teammates and grasp as much knowledge as possible with regards to the technical side of handball.

To do this, Skogås Handball was the perfect destination to start off my international journey in the sport with a very supportive management and club owners. I am looking forward to wear the green colours of Skogås and to have a couple of months training with elite athletes in preparation for the 1st Division League in Malta. Apart from further developing my knowledge about the game, I would like to elevate the role of my position as a centre back with my team by contributing both in defence and also in attack. This will hopefully be achieved with the help of the coaches at Skogås and their professional mindset of improving youngsters like myself.

I am always looking on how I can improve myself and push myself to become a more complete player. I believe that it is this attitude that has enabled me to help my team win local championships in all junior competitions we participated in (U15, U17 & U21) also managing to be voted as MVP in all three categories over the years. Winning best playmaker in the local senior 1st Div league last season feels like no reason to relent and slow down but rather serves as more motivation to push myself harder than i have in the past to become a better player and help my team achieve our goals.
