For the second time, after the big success of the 1st Youth Camp (in
August 2011) a roller hockey youth camp with the U20 Portuguese national coach Luís Duarte, will take place in Villach, Austria. This event supported by CERH, will take place from 5th to the 11th of August and will have the presence of players from Austria, Switzerland and
Germany.
Since 2010, Rollhockey Club Villach has the goal to train new young
players. An important factor to reach this goal was, the fact that roller hockey became a part of the "Neue
Mittelschule Auen" (Auen is a part of Villach), in September, and since then, each Monday a group
of 20 pupils play during two hours roller hockey. A year later RC Villach organized the first championship of Villach region, with four teams
(Villach I, Villach II, Auen I, Auen II) in Under 15th category.

The format of the tournament was like this, because the other clubs in Austria are about 500 kilometers far away, what becomes difficult at this moment national competitions. Once again, even the big interest of kids to play roller hockey, the staff and the place to play are the biggest problems. Concerning material as we know roller skates are a bite expensive.

In other hand concerning the place to play at this moment there are two big sport halls, but one of them will be demolished, thus there will be only one hall for all sports in
Villach ( at this moment, the first team can only train 2 times and all youth teams can play only 4 times). The entities of the club are sure, that with the right conditions they could have 80-100 players, through visits among the region's schools, and maybe they could introduce roller hockey in other school, becoming possible a school championship.

| Senior Team |
Concerning the senior's team, they play in Italian Championship Serie B. At this moment the directors of Villach are trying also that their youth teams can also play in Italy, although it's getting very difficult to reach this objective. The Italian Federation said that Villach must dispute it home games in Italy, in Pordenone (it's about 200 km away from Villach). This situation is not good
for the supporters, that just have the opportunity to see the Austrian
championship, and it 3 home games.
Until the end of 2012 RHC Villach wants to reach the 1000 Likes mark on Facebook page, so please just click on it :)
