Christmas is coming and the educational centers of Moral de Calatrava celebrate the classic inter-school badminton tournament, with the participation of the CEIP Manuel Clemente and the IES Peñalba.
Between the exams and the typical Christmas performances typical of these dates in the schools of Moral de Calatrava, badminton emerges as a sporting activity that once again manages to unite the different members of the educational community. An event that helps to continue training people where values such as discipline, respect, camaraderie, and friendship are a fundamental part of daily life.
The categories disputed were under 11 (individual mode), under 13 and absolute (in doubles). With no age limit, all components of the educational community were represented (students, mothers/fathers, teachers, grandparents, city council, local associations) to play and enjoy this sport that Moral is so passionate about.

The CEIP Manuel Clemente contributed players from 4th to 6th Primary and the IES Peñalba from 1st ESO to 4th ESO. In total, 152 participants, who together with the rest of the school children who attended as an audience to see their classmates, made the stands vibrate and gave life to a completely full municipal pavilion.
Great display of energy, effort, and emotions during the 163 games played, from 8:30 to 1:30 p.m., when the games ended, beginning the medal ceremony.
The Moral City Council and the CEIP Manuel Clemente Ampa were the protagonists, offering all participants and attendees a great healthy breakfast, consisting of toasted bread with oil, juice, and various fruits.

The event ended with the presentation of awards by the directors of both centers, José María Aldavero Molina and Óscar Parada Maroto, and the mayor, Manuel Torres Estornell, putting the culmination of an inclusive, integrative and coexistence activity.
This tournament would not be possible without the work of all members of the educational community. For this reason, we appreciate the collaboration and support of the Moral de Calatrava City Council, the Ciudad Real Provincial Council, the Moral Badminton Club, the Ampa El Asilo, the families and the teachers of both educational centers, especially the physical education teachers, in making possible this type of events that are so enriching for the students.
