What Equipe Sportiva does

Equipe Sportiva SRL Società Sportiva Dilettantistica is a privately held Italian amateur sports club founded in 1990 and headquartered in Reggio Emilia, with a legal single-shareholder structure and no external institutional investment. The company operates seven facility locations across three provinces in the Emilia-Romagna region (Reggio Emilia, Parma, and Modena), including the Komodo-branded complexes in Boretto, Campegine, Rubiera, and Castelfranco, the Ego Village in Collecchio, L'Azzurra Piscine in Scandiano, and the Danza Art Container studio in Reggio Emilia. Service lines span swimming courses, water fitness, gym and fitness classes, dance (classical ballet, modern, hip hop, creative, acrobatic), martial arts and self-defense, competitive swimming, artistic swimming, artistic roller skating, artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, freediving and scuba, multisport programs, and branded summer camps (Komodolandia, Egolandia, Nuotolandia), plus a Welly Box multi-facility gift product.

The business is built on a subscription and annual-membership model administered through the UISP (Unione Italiana Sport per Tutti) affiliation, which provides the organizational framework, insurance coverage, and competitive circuit under which the club operates. Course fees are typically collected in installments (commonly 50% at enrollment with the balance due by November for annual courses), and pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed. The company employs 51-100 core staff supplemented by 250+ sports-science-graduate technician-educators who deliver programming. Customer segments are deliberately broad, spanning children aged 0-3 through seniors, recreational and competitive athletes, and—since 2024—prison inmates reached through the publicly funded 'Rieducare con lo Sport' social-rehabilitation project. Distribution is direct-to-consumer at owned facilities and via online inquiry forms; no e-commerce or third-party marketplace channels are used. The company also operates a small ecosystem of strategic partners, including UISP, KINEMA (facility management), FIN (Italian Swimming Federation), Sport e Salute Spa, and the Comune di Reggio Emilia.
