This initiative represents a significant milestone in the organization and development of student sports at the national level.\n\nThe project was inaugurated with the delivery of the comprehensive remodeling of the Rafael Barias Club, located in Villa Consuelo. This infrastructure, which borders the Rep\u00fablica de Cuba Basic School, will function as part of the National Project of School Sports Clubs, promoted by INEFI under the model of open and active schools for the community.\n\nThe intervention included the installation of a new multipurpose platform, ideal for the practice of basketball, volleyball and indoor soccer. In addition, three specialized rooms were adapted for key school sports disciplines. Among them, a combat room for karate, judo and taekwondo; an area for table tennis; and a space dedicated to chess.\n\nDuring the event, the executive director of INEFI, Alberto Rodr\u00edguez, highlighted the strategic importance of this initiative. The project seeks to effectively integrate sports into the Dominican educational system.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>\u201cWith this first school club, we are taking a historic step by uniting the school with a functional sports facility, organized and directed by professionals, so that sport is part of the day-to-day life of our students, beyond the physical education class,\u201d Rodr\u00edguez expressed.<\/p>\n\n<cite>Alberto Rodr\u00edguez, Executive Director of INEFI<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe center will have the direct participation of renowned figures of national sport, who will be in charge of the different disciplines. Among them, the immortal of Dominican sport Ana Villanueva, in karate; Blanca Iris Alejo, in table tennis; and Jos\u00e9 Fortuna (Pancho), in basketball, along with other outstanding coaches.\n\nRodr\u00edguez explained that the School Sports Clubs model will offer systematic sports training, technical support, and suitable spaces for the integral development of children and adolescents.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>\u201cThis club is not just a physical work, it is a model that we want to replicate throughout the country, where infrastructure, trained coaches, discipline and educational community converge, with the aim of training citizens through sport,\u201d he affirmed.<\/p>\n\n<cite>Alberto Rodr\u00edguez, Executive Director of INEFI<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nAs part of the remodeling work, INEFI also completely repaired the perimeter fence of the club and installed air conditioners in the administrative areas, guaranteeing better security and operational conditions.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INEFI Inaugurates Community School Sports Center: A New Beginning for Student Sports Santo Domingo \u2013 The National Institute of Physical Education (INEFI) has launched the first Community School Sports Initiation Center in the country.
