Nagua Opens Doors for Young Racket Sport Athletes
Children in the coastal municipality of Nagua now have a dedicated space to learn badminton following the official opening of the María Trinidad Sánchez Badminton Academy. The newly established sports institution aims to introduce boys and girls to the sport at an early stage, running specialized training sessions tailored for participants aged five through ten.
Club president Jorge Luis Peralta Peña presided over the opening ceremony, outlining the organization’s core philosophy of blending athletic instruction with personal development. Training sessions on the court will be directed by technical staff member Arisley Fría del Orbe, who oversees day-to-day drills and skill development for the young athletes.
