Registration is ongoing at the Sports Office (Urquiza 1066) from Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM, and at the North Sports Center (Blvr. Montana and Roque Sáenz Peña) during the same hours. Alternatively, prospective participants can register directly at the location where their chosen activity takes place. This streamlined process ensures easy access for all interested families.

While the program is commendable, some might argue that focusing on so many sports dilutes the quality of training.

This approach mirrors the ideology of many successful multi-sport athletes who credit their diverse backgrounds for their overall athletic advancement.
