Club Deportivo UCundinamarca and its services

UCundinamarca News spoke with David Murcia, its coordinator, who provided a detailed analysis of the services and benefits they offer and the strategic plans for the coming years.

UCundinamarca News: What plans and projects does the UCundinamarca Sports Club have?

David Murcia: Our plans for this year include the growth of our training schools and the sports club itself. Currently, our goal is to have 519 athletes across the six disciplines we offer here: swimming, skating, tennis, rollerblading, soccer, motorsports, and children's cycling.

Our main objective is to increase participation, prioritizing quality over quantity. Therefore, we have set coverage targets for each sport and tournament results targets within the department to assess our performance relative to other clubs. The goal is to integrate these sports with the various leagues. 90% is already aligned with this strategy.

UCundinamarca News: What type of users can use the UCundinamarca Sports Club?

David Murcia: The sports club is open to current students, graduates, administrative staff, faculty, and all external personnel from the Sumapaz region. We offer a 20% discount for graduates, administrative staff, faculty, and students. For other members, there is a 1% discount for first-degree relatives (e.g., parents and children, siblings, etc.).

UCundinamarca News: How much does it cost to access this service?

David Murcia: We have different monthly rates for each discipline. For skating, we have a rate of $82,200 for the developmental level and $110,200 for the specialization level, which has a higher daily intensity than the first and is generally for athletes who participate in competitions. The respective discount I mentioned earlier is applied to these rates.

There is also a double session for athletes aiming for high performance, which requires more time at the facilities and costs $165,300, as they train both morning and afternoon. For swimming, we have a developmental program for $116,000 and a specialized program for $139,200. Similarly, we have a developmental tennis program for $139,200 and a specialized program for $174,000. For soccer, the developmental program costs $46,400 and the specialized program costs $60,000. Multimotor skills training costs $92,800 and children's cycling costs $69,600. The registration fee is $23,200.

UCundinamarca News: What is the importance of sports practice in people's lives?

David Murcia: We start from the premise that human beings have several dimensions, including the physical and the psychological. From this perspective, sports, for example, help children improve their motor skills and balance, and in terms of mental health, they learn to interact with others and develop values such as respect and teamwork. It's a holistic approach. It's also worth noting that experts recommend that people engage in physical activity at least three times a week to maintain optimal health.

UCundinamarca News: How is the Transmodern Digital Educational Model being implemented in the work being done at the UCundinamarca Sports Club?

David Murcia: The Transmodern Digital Educational Model is embodied in the UCundinamarca Sports Club through the formation of an active and transformative subject, of his environment as stated in the different dimensions.

UCundinamarca News: What is the vision of the UCundinamarca Club?

David Murcia: The vision is to achieve many sporting successes and consolidate ourselves as the best club in the department in the disciplines we have and in those we plan to open in the future such as: futsal, parkour, basketball and volleyball.
