Update: Copa de Oro Log #1
Copa de Oro Log #1
This week we started getting all of our ideas organized and actually got to start the soccer team for our school. On September 11, 2021 our invitation to one of the invited schools got declined which is a big drawback because this is a 4 team tournament and now we have to look for another school that is willing to participate. Our goal is to bring back the interescholar activities with adequate protocols in order to reactivate activity in sports within schools, this tournament consist of 4 teams which will play a total of 6 games. This would start in March(if Covid allows it) or will have to be delay the second or third quarter of the year. Currently our mentor in this project is helping us by training the soccer team and getting us in contact with Educarte which is one of the other 3 school that are being considered for this tournament, also a parent of a kid in the soccer team has shown interest in sponsoring the team, he would pay for the new uniforms in exchange of the uniforms having the logo if his company on it. Everything looks to be going as planned, some parts we got ahead of while also having that mayor drawback from the declination of the invitation but at the end this proyect will benefit the community by reactivating that social interactions between schools that have been gone for almost two years now, if restrictions allow it there we could get spectators and people selling food which would be a great economical help to these families.

This is such a great initiative! Sports teach life skills while students are playing. It is important to have those games to look forward to in the future. How is your coach going to keep you motivated while there is no competition? It surprised me that a school would decline an invitation when it is so far in the future. Can you add more to that? Is it the uncertainty of the Covid situation and could you ask them in the future?
