Best Practices
In this space, we present projects, organizations and foundations of reference that, through sport, positively mark society.
Champs Academy
Academia dos Champs
​
Founded in 2009, Academia dos Champs currently has 9 centers and 292 students distributed from north to south of the country. This project sees sport as a philosophy of life capable of transforming socially vulnerable young people into champions on and off the field.
Persistence, Respect, and Equality - these, and many more, are the values that Academia dos Champs transmits through tennis!

Johnson's Academy
Academia do Johnson​
​
"We are what we do!" is a motto that so well represents the Johnson Academy, a project born from the courage and tenacity of its founder João Semedo. In his own words, the children he works with, in social neighborhoods located in Amadora, already come with "clay", what is missing is to mold them into various happy shapes using sport.

Escolinha de Rugby da Galiza
​
At Galicia Rugby School everyone has an opportunity, if they just believe. With Rugby comes energy, team spirit, mutual help and solidarity, but the Project only completes a try when its athletes, alongside the ball, carry these values into life. Let's go, GALICIA!

Cascais Fight Center
Cascais Fight Center
The CFC Association – Cascais Fight Center, was born from the desire of José “Duba” Barradas to promote martial arts and combat sports as a vehicle for the personal and social development of young people at risk, making them “champions in life” . Based on the values defended by this sporting art, such as self-control, discipline, responsibility, mutual respect, among others, the projects are encouraged through the reference and inspiration of the figure of the Master. The entire process is developed in conjunction with families, schools and other partners/community resources.
