Polisportiva G Masi

What Polisportiva G Masi does

Polisportiva G Masi is an Italian amateur sports association (Associazione Sportiva Dilettantistica, ASD) founded circa 1965 in Casalecchio di Reno, Bologna. It is a private non-profit organization (fiscal code 80152380376, VAT 00665221206) operating across four physical locations in the municipality — a central secretariat, a secondary secretariat, the 1,700 sqm Gimi Sport Club (fitness, gymnastics, and climbing), and the M.L. King outdoor pool with adjacent XXV Aprile indoor pool. The core product is multi-discipline sports programming across 20+ activities including competitive and synchronized swimming, gymnastics, martial arts, basketball, volleyball, artistic roller skating, orienteering, dance, fitness, Pilates, yoga, and climbing, with a specialized ZeroSei early-childhood aquatic program for ages 0–6. Distribution is dual-channel: in-person registration at secretarial offices plus a self-serve online reserved area supporting card, PayPal, and Pay-in-3 installments.

The association generates revenue through three streams: a symbolic annual membership fee (€20 standard, €10 over-60, €5 family add-on), quadrimestral (four-month) course fees with family and multi-discipline discounts, and ancillary Gift Card sales (€25/€50/€100 denominations). A 5x1000 tax designation program (codice fiscale 80152380376) channels donations toward social programs. Insurance coverage of up to €1,100 medical reimbursement and €15,000 death benefit is bundled with membership. The club is affiliated with CONI and UISP, the Italian national sports federations.

What distinguishes Polisportiva Masi is its Casamasi social inclusion initiative, which integrates adapted physical activity (AFA/AMA) programs under AUSL Bologna clinical supervision, inclusive sports pathways for people with disabilities, elderly programming in partnership with ASC InSieme across five day centers, sports bursaries for families in economic difficulty, and co-founding membership in the Emporio Solidale Il Sole food bank. Approximately 160 people with exercise-sensitive pathologies are served annually through ChiaMASI Salute, while ~50 children/teens with disabilities participate in inclusive sports programming. The club partners with the University of Bologna for Sports Sciences internships, multiple day centers for adults with disabilities (Opengroup/Il Borgo, La Quercia), and AMRER for fibromyalgia-specific aquatic programs. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; this is a fee-funded, grant-subsidized community association with no venture capital or external equity.
