Ecosystem / 5 - the "veterans" of the GDG resumes after a long time 'analysis Ecosystem FITARCO recently stimulated by the question put by a character that I'm not FITARCO appoint. The question was simple: because our youth is going backwards and no longer generates new samples as in continuity with the past?
I responded instinctively that the motivation was to look for in regulatory changes that had influenced the youth sector in the last six or seven years. Changes have transformed the work young people and our miraculous system of generation of future champions that the world envies us in a purely amateur and no longer need to select and train young athletes.
I think I have ended the show with a phrase like: "A system for half that saw half saw trains to become half saw ..." Not elegant, I admit, but you get the idea, and other technicians at my have maximum exposure to the shared statement.
I also added that the only way to rectify the situation was to throw away all the regulations of the Project on Youth and restore all of a sudden be those of at least ten years ago, and then, unfortunately, it takes at least four or five years to see the effects of changes, but I see no other solution.
Obviously, the suggestion will not be taken into account, but the conversation I was reminded of the following from afar the performance of the National Youth Games 2010.
Then I made a look on the results of the last three years, finding confirms obvious to many of my assumptions. Then, I went back in time to the origins, to see the major changes made to the regulations of the games over the years. No surprise, given that I remembered almost everything to the detail.
Let ' then with the evolution of "species" "Archers Juniors GDG" over the years. The GDG
born with a simple rule:
- eighth grade to 30 meters
- seventh grade and 25 m
- sixth grade at 20 m
- fourth and fifth grade at 15 m
- no stabilizers
- 72 arrows total on two different days
- who qualifies for the national stages can not participate the following year if no changes from elementary to middle
- ; who qualifies at the individual level can not participate in the Italian championships.
Regulation simple but ingenious.: Increase the difficulty of the competition with increasing age and also just pushed relentlessly all those "good" to competitive races in the calendar because they were once excluded by the GDG.
was the time of the birth of the youth events calendar and the times in which grew all of our samples which now have well over thirty years ...
first change in relaxation:
- ; who qualifies at the individual level of the Italian championship PREVIOUS YEAR can not participate in relaxation
Second Amendment:
- first, second and third media roll all within 20 meters.
Third Amendment in an attempt to intensify:
- Chicks created the class for the second and third grade, pulling 10 meters. I suggested the Federal Council, since I had a leaf of 7 years who wanted to compete but could not. It was 1995, and it was not easy to accept.
Fourth Amendment in relaxation:
- From 72 to 48 arrows Arrows (2002)
Fifth Amendment in relaxation:
- can not participate in the next edition only the first three stages of national, rather than all qualified to the national stage.
Sixth Amendment in relaxation:
- go directly to the national stages including the first two phases of the newly formed winter of absolute GDG held in March.
Seventh Amendment in relaxation (last)
- can not participate in the first rank of 10 list for the national championship instead of all the skilled Italian Championships Italian
The result is there for all to see:
- Le gare giovanili sono sempre più disertate,incluse quelle indoor, perché le Società sono dedite a preparare i giovani alternativamente per i GDG invernali e poi per quelli estivi ( e i “poverini” non possono mettere e togliere gli stabilizzatori continuamente..).
- I Giovanissimi e Ragazzi in grado di affrontare un FITA da 144 frecce sono sempre meno, e sempre meno sono di numero in tutte le gare all’aperto di calendario
- E’ nata la categoria Occult of "veterans" of regional and even national GDG: where in the past than they could participate in the National twice, once as basic as a medium and now the cases of three investments are wasted, and at regional level with those prevalent three or even more shares.

The GDG from perfect method to select the best talent and start them as soon as possible to competition true, are the ultimate aim of the activity for several companies and almost all i Comitati Regionali, che da parte loro lottano continuamente per allargare ancora di più le maglie del regolamento per poter migliorare il proprio piazzamento nella fase Nazionale utilizzando il maggior numero possibile di “veterani” dei GDG . E ci riescono, da anni e anni.
Sarà un caso, ma l’ultima generazione “numerosa” di giovani Campioni uscita dai GDG è quella dei nati nel 1987/1988/. L’ultima generazione che ha fatto in tempo a partecipare ai GDG a 72 frecce e che ha potuto partecipare solo ad una edizione delle fasi Finali nazionali,
Recentemente, come colpo di grazia definitivo alla formazione Youth, new standards of qualification for the Plate Championship and Junior Boys 2010 have eliminated the requirement of at least one FITA round of 144 arrows for the qualification.
Obviously if you do not do more to FITA boys and if they manage to arrive in the race more than 48 arrows when they already have 14 years, hopes for the future are very limited, and it is quite strange that someone who votes on these rules shall ask and ask me "why" we can no longer train young champions.

The ecosystem is delicate as any other ecosystem. It can not with impunity for years without damage to hurt everywhere along accordingly.
