Our Sports Club activities are aimed for pupils of all ages, from 6 to 18 years old. All groups are well diferenciated depending on their ages and meeting pupils and activities needs, choosing from volleyball, mini-football, basketball to football.

The first group consists of initiation schools. It comprises pupils from 6 to 9 years old. Its aim is to develop pupils potential and basic skills.This initiation group does not hold the attention in just one type of activity but keeps the options open, to help pupils from early specialitation and gives directions to students to opt for the type of sport that suits the best to them.
Subsequently, from 10 to 18 years old, pupils access to “Competitive teams” that compete in schools competitions, private educational leagues, and federated tournaments. Our team trainers are full qualified who usually are former students with the same old passion for their colours.
