As in the past editions, DAIMILOPTU will involve players on and off the court as well because each Italian player will host in his house a member of a foreign team. The motto of DAIMILOPTU is in fact “Gioca chi ospita” (literally, who hosts plays), a slogan that summarizes the desire to make DAIMILOPTU an unforgettable experience for participating kids both on and off the court.
