It should be noted that people from rugby, hockey, athletics, basketball and volleyball came to this sporting mission. That is why meetings have been held, so that, in the future, for example, the volleyball or basketball team from the city of Comodoro Rivadavia that represents the national league, can come here, not only to play friendly matches. with the local teams, but also to have training, because these teams that are highly competitive can transmit their knowledge to the local players.”
