Marbella closes the 2025 sports schedule with a Christmas golf tournament and the traditional rhythmic gymnastics exhibition

The municipal schools of Marbella for golf and rhythmic gymnastics will put the finishing touch to this year's sports calendar with two activities. The first ... will be held tomorrow, Saturday, December 13, with the 1st Christmas Golf Tournament, while on December 20, the 27th Rhythmic Gymnastics Exhibition will take place. The events will be held at Banús Executive Golf and at the Elena Benítez Sports Palace, respectively, and will feature the participation of more than 350 young athletes. The councilor for sports, Lisandro Vieytes, pointed out that "we conclude a year characterized by the organization of more than 130 events, which is equivalent to an average of three per weekend, with the goal of consolidating 2025 as a key year both in investment in infrastructure and in the promotion of grassroots sports."

Regarding the golf tournament, the councilor presented the event alongside Ángel Jiménez, teacher at the municipal school and representative of The Range Marbella, and María Kondratenko, spokesperson for Banús Executive Golf, the entity that has provided its facilities. The competition will feature 64 students, in a day that will combine sport and family togetherness, with active involvement from the parents. "We seek to introduce minors to the competitive environment through a comprehensive experience that will include reception, distribution of welcome materials, and awards for the top performers," Vieytes indicated.

Rhythmic Gymnastics Exhibition

On the other hand, on Saturday, December 20, one of the most established events of local sports will take place, with the Christmas Rhythmic Gymnastics Exhibition, now in its twenty-seventh edition. About 300 girls, aged between 4 and 16 years, from the municipal schools of Marbella and San Pedro Alcántara, as well as local clubs of this discipline, will participate. "This is a very special activity, not only because of its history but because it reflects the strong roots of this discipline in our city, as also demonstrated by the International Grand Prix or the future high-performance center, unique in Spain," highlighted the councilor.

The exhibition will take place from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Elena Benítez Pavilion, with free admission. The gymnasts will display the choreographies prepared since the beginning of the course in a festive atmosphere, adapted to their age and level. Municipal technician Marina Moreno emphasized that "it is a non-competitive proposal, designed for them to enjoy and have an enriching experience in front of a large audience, with all the necessary measures for their safety and well-being." With these two events, the City Council reaffirms its support for the sports schools, which this year have more than 3,500 users distributed across 45 disciplines.
