The Department of Sports led by Toni Arabí presented today at the Gata Town Hall, together with the Gata Basketball Club, the renovation of the club and a series of activities that have been organized to work together to reactivate the practice of this sport in the municipality.
From the club they have highlighted that basketball has historically been an important sport in the municipality. In the 90s and the first decade of the 2000s, there were many generations that passed through the different teams of the Gata Basketball Club in all categories.
"After a few years of relative pause (and pandemic), the flame of basketball rekindles in Gata, with the reactivation of the Gata Basketball Club with a renewed board and image," explained María Monfort, the new president of the club.
Toni Arabí has made clear the great satisfaction of the council for the emergence of a group of people with a lot of desire and enthusiasm to reactivate this sport and, therefore, they have the full support of the Sports council.
On the one hand, they have announced that for the next season there will be registrations for all children's categories, from Cherub (4-5 years) to Junior (17 years). As of July 4, those interested can register on the Solgata website, www.solgata.es, since the teams in the children's categories will be organized within the structure of the Municipal Sports Schools.
In accordance with this intention of once again promoting basketball in Gata, on June 22 an open day has been organized in the sports pavilion, from 18:00 p.m. to 20:00 p.m., so that all the children and girls who want, can try and participate in different games related to basketball.
Likewise, from June 27 to 30, the Sports Department of the Gata City Council and the club have organized a basketball modernization campus that will also take place in the municipal sports pavilion.
Both the Gata Basketball Club and the Department of Sports have encouraged all boys and girls to participate in these activities and sign up to play basketball next year: "we hope that the excitement of basketball returns to Gata in all categories."
