“This offer represents an increase of 300% compared to last year”, says José Antonio Huertas
The Sports Department of the Granada City Council takes another step to bring us closer to normality with the sports activities program for the 2021-2022 season. The Councilor for Sports of the Granada City Council, José Antonio Huertas, affirms that “this is the activity that responds to the main objective of the Council, which is none other than to provide physical activity to the citizens of Granada to improve their quality of life. and promote healthy lifestyle habits. And we achieve this through two different ways. On the one hand with the physical-sports activities open to the general population and the other with the medical-sports activities developed by the Center for Sports-Medical Activities and aimed at people from Granada who require physical activity to treat various pathologies.
The head of municipal sports added that “the program will run from October 1 to June 5 and offers a total of 31,600 places, an offer still limited by the need to comply with the recommendations of the health authorities. Grenadians will have the opportunity to choose between 82 different activities and 776 different groups spread over municipal facilities throughout the city.
“This offer represents an increase of 300% compared to the 11,832 places last year, when the anti-Covid measures were much more restrictive. Huertas assured that “we are prepared to increase the places offered if circumstances allow us to increase capacity.”
The offer is conditioned by the obligation to maintain a minimum safety distance of 1.5 meters, which forces us to limit many of the activities that take place indoors and all those of swimming to keep this rule in the changing rooms. In addition, there are other closed spaces that we cannot use either because it is not possible to maintain a safe distance from the group. The Department maintains all the security measures indicated by the health authorities (distance, hand washing and disinfection of footwear) and, in addition, will continue to disinfect the pools three times a day and also the material used during classes. Users should only bring their own mat.
María José Villanueva, Sports Coordinator of the City Council recalled that “registrations will be done ‘online’ through the electronic office at sededeportes.granada.org. For the medical-sports activities they begin tomorrow, Friday, the 17th, at 9:00 am, while the physical-sports activities will be done in a cascade to give greater agility in the network. The racket starts tomorrow, the 17th, at 9:00 am; the aquatic ones, on the 20th; the physical-sports activities for adults, on the 21st, and those of basic sport and initiation, also on the 21st ».
