Open Game Program - Caju
Caju, Rio de Janeiro
The Jogo Aberto Caju program offers sports practices, integral education and strengthening of sports and leisure culture for children, adolescents and young people from 07 to 17 years old living in Caju neighborhoods. Regular activities are carried out during school hours. In addition, the program also promotes sports festivals, integration games, walks and events open to the community.
In 2018, the program tripled its tennis-related openings and incorporated adult gym practice into its activities. There was also a process of integration with other territorial agents, such as E.M. Marechal Esperidião Rosas, as well as the expansion of participation in external events and the programming of internal festivals.

Today´s Judo and Table Tennis Festival in Caju was cool! I enjoyed playing and having fun, besides practicing the activities. I played Table Tennis and learned a lot, I met new people and tried new modalities. It was great!
I have a strong connection with Fundação Gol de Letra. It started many years ago. My son plays table tennis, my daughter plays futsal and I have gym classes in the evening. I live in Caju and I can say that Gol de Letra is very important for this District, as well as for the region. Today I took part in the sports walk practice, and that meant making some exercise and meeting friends to chat and start my Saturday in a good way
Having the chance to take part in a festival is awesome, I am glad for the children. I liked the program very much and I have no words to express my feelings. I love all the modalities, specially gym and judo. I note that the children become calmer, more balanced and patient. Their capacity to concentrate is very important.
