The Mérida sports campuses offer more than 500 places in summer

An athletics campus is also underway at the Diocles sports center in two periods. In this case there are 30 places for children born between 2009 and 2015.

In rhythmic gymnastics, at Diocles, thirty places are offered for children from 2009 to 2012 and another thirty at Nueva Ciudad. In this case, the venues have been divided because they want in Sports that families on both sides of the city have a close alternative.

Artistic gymnastics has its own campus in the Sports City. In this case, groups of 24 children will be chosen. For tennis there are a few less. Groups of twenty children may participate. The calendars of the sports campus are conditioned to the organization of the staff and the monitors. Most of them work throughout the course in the municipal sports schools and now they take vacations.

Between July and August there will always be some campus running and what moves on the calendar is the modality.

Registration can be done through WhatsApp at 661 61 62 08 until Thursday, June 8. The groups of each section will be made by draw. «We believe that it is the fairest and most equitable way, other than the ability of those interested in making the registrations that determines the selection. That is why there will be a public raffle this year”, explains the municipal delegate Felipe González. Simply send the word ‘Activities’ to the number 661 61 62 08 and then follow the steps indicated in the application to complete the registration. The draw will take place on June 9 at ten in the morning.

Felipe González recalls that there are almost five hundred places in the city and that the change this year from Argentina to Diocles in swimming is due to the work of the heated pool. Many registrations await at the Town Hall. Those that come out are sold out every summer.

The same is true of urban camps. On Monday morning there were already more than seven hundred applications in the Youth delegation. In just five days, supply over demand doubled. «We know that they are very successful, that they arouse a lot of interest and what we do is take it out every year before to make it easier for families to organize the summer. They have a very high demand and we surpass in double”.

The delegate also clarified that families can register all their children and in several fortnights. Those who manage to access one period can then remain on the waiting list in another.
