The Municipal Sports Schools of Estepona start the course with more than 1,800 registrations

90% of the places offered have been filled. The season of activities and disciplines will run until June 13, 2025.

The Estepona City Council reports that a total of 1,800 people have started their sports practices in the Municipal Sports Schools (EDM) programmed by the Municipal Sports Delegation.

For the current course 2024/25 have been offered 24 sports activities, three more than last year, resulting in a total of 2,250 places that are distributed in 233 groups of activities, led by qualified sports technicians. As a novelty, Climbing will be taught in the new Municipal Climbing Wall, as well as Fencing and Volleyball. These three new schools are in the process of registration, so those interested are still on time.

Once again, the inscriptions have been developed with high participation, completing 90% of the places offered. Most of them are aimed at children and young people (Athletics, Badminton, Basketball, Handball, Soccer, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Golf, Judo, Karate, Multisport, Paddle, Psychomotor skills and Tennis), and the rest are aimed at adults (Physical Activity for Seniors, Badminton, Adapted Sports, Stretching, Gymnastics Maintenance, G.A.P. (Gluteus, Abdominals, Legs), Golf, Judo, Karate, Paddle, Pilates, Step/Fitness and Fitness, and Tennis).

In this first period of the course, the schools with the highest demand are Paddle, Pilates, Soccer and G.A.P., with 100% occupancy in all scheduled groups. It should be noted that the Badminton, Basketball, Paddle and Tennis schools are developed by the 24 Hours Sports Foundation.

The prices of the activities range from 5 euros per month for the Chess school, to 28 euros per month for those enrolled in Paddle, Tennis or Climbing. According to the characteristics of the activity, the groups admit between 8 and 30 people, with classes being held 1, 2 or 3 days a week, depending on the modality.

For those people who need it, the City Council subsidizes the participation in these sports activities with 50% of the public price, as long as they meet specific requirements.

Approximately 80% of these activities, directed by qualified sports technicians, are developed in the facilities of the town of Estepona, while the remaining 20% are divided between the neighborhood of Cancelada (with groups of Rhythmic Gymnastics, Karate, Gymnastics Maintenance and Pilates) and the urbanizations of Arroyo Vaquero and El Paraíso (with nine groups of the EDM Golf).

Those interested in participating in any of the sold-out groups (without places) are advised to register on the waiting lists to cover possible cancellations.

Registration for the Municipal Sports Schools programmed by the Sports Department is open throughout the 2024/25 season (more information at www.estepona.deportes.es or by calling 952 80 24 44).
