25 •  jan •  2023

The first training sessions were held in mid-2022, and now 2023 will begin on March 13 at the Municipal School Sports Complex located at Avenida Angamos 0393.

Since 2018, Fundación Luksic has been implementing a program of free soccer schools for children and adolescents in several communes of the Metropolitan Region, in the communes of El Bosque, Estación Central, Independencia, La Florida, La Pintana, Lo Prado, Peñalolén, Puente Alto, Pudahuel, Renca and San Miguel. In 2022, fulfilling one of the Foundation’s goals, the doors of a school were opened in Antofagasta, the first in the region.

This new school is developed in partnership with the Municipal Corporation of Sports and Recreation (CMDR) of Antofagasta. The training, aimed at boys and girls between the ages of 7 and 13, began in August and had a total of 50 students participating on average.

“Our schools, more than being just a sports space, are integral: they add the components of healthy eating and positive parenting program, which given the contingencies we have faced in recent years, I think is an extraordinary contribution for all families,” said Jaime Pizarro, director of the Sports area of the Luksic Foundation, who also highlighted the “great participation” of the parents of Antofagasta, who were present throughout the process.

For his part, Braulio Otárola Rojas, executive director of the CMDR, said that “all these types of actions make us extremely happy because it means continuing to develop sport and physical activity in our commune”.
The 2023 training sessions will begin on March 13, are totally free and will be held at the Municipal School Sports Complex, located at Avenida Angamos 0393.
