PRESIDENT’S WORDS
We will always have growth in basketball, but we have seen that there are other areas where we can also bring youth. Our desire is to give back a little to the Tijuana community for how much it has given us and make it better and better by putting our bit of sand through sports, commented the president of the Tijuana Zonkeys, Rafael Carrillo.
Good news is always the sports theme, the theme of children and young people; right now we are focused on that side. We have seen the growth we have had with the Basketball Academy, where we have more than 500 students enrolled developing this sport here and we also have the part of the tournaments, both in basketball and soccer, indicated Andrea Juregui Lapuente.
We took on the task of seeing what else we could do, thanks to these first class facilities together with the growth and positioning of the Tijuana Zonkeys team, now we are looking to position these sports under the name of Zonkeys, an idea that we like very much, since that not only will the basketball players wear the Zonkeys shirt, but it will also be a pride to see soccer players, volleyball players and boxers wear the Zonkeys logo through the Zonkeys Sports Club, he added.
So that people are aware of the schedules of the classes of the different disciplines, people were invited to follow the social networks of Club Deportivo Zonkeys, which is found both on Facebook and Instagram.
