In three months of the project, the women’s team Wolves Cham-pions, they have already debuted in official games and the other categories will do so soon.

“They have already had two official games in a league, the teenagers are about to make their debut and the other categories are about to do it as well, many schools take between three and six months to get them into a league and I feel that it is a lot behind them, I have an approximate of 60 and 70 students, I divide the older ones into Monday and Wednesday and the little ones on Tuesday and Thursday and on Friday we all get together so they don’t arrive so misplaced to class and on Sunday they already play a good role in the games, the girls are already playing well They are doing a good job ”, he concluded.
