São José dos Campos Eager for a Third Straight Title at the Paresp
As the only team to have won the Paralympic Games of São Paulo (Paresp) twice in two editions, São José dos Campos is setting its sights on securing a third title. The fifth stage of the Paresp is scheduled for November 1-3 at the Brazilian Paralympic Training Center (CTPB).
The city will compete in the men’s sitting volleyball category, fielding a 12-member squad organized by the Instituto Athlon, an organization dedicated to promoting sports for individuals with disabilities, supported by resources from the São Paulo Law for Sport Incentive. After finishing fourth in their inaugural Paresp outing in 2024, the team is placed in Group B, alongside São Roque, Santa Izabel, Sorocaba, Osasco, and Diadema.
“Our aim is to perform well. We are missing one player due to surgery, but we are hopeful for the championship,” states Renê Quintas, technical supervisor at Instituto Athlon.
The São José dos Campos sitting volleyball team has strong prospects for clinching an unprecedented medal at the Paresp. In 2024, they secured third place in both the São Paulo Championship and the Brazilian Golden Series. The roster also includes Diego, a player for the Brazilian national team, and Marcelo, who plays for the military national team.
São José dos Campos’ first match is scheduled for this Saturday against Osasco. The top two teams from each group will progress to the semifinals on Sunday.
Support for Athletes
Instituto Athlon does not navigate this path alone in its mission to elevate national parasports. Since 2019, the organization has been leveraging the São Paulo Law for Sport Incentive, crucial for maintaining smooth operations.
“The law is vital as it offers technical and logistical support for our teams,” highlights Renê.
Sitting volleyball is just one of the initiatives within the Instituto’s partnership with the Government of São Paulo. The organization is also implementing projects in judo and karate. For more details on classes and initiatives, visit institutoathlon.org.br.
Understanding the São Paulo Law for Sport Incentive
Established by decree 55.636 on March 26, 2010, the São Paulo State Law for Sport Incentive supports projects in areas such as education, sports training, high performance, and infrastructure. It allows private entities to fund sports projects developed by non-profit organizations or municipal governments within the state.
Projects that are disqualified or not selected have three business days from the publication date to appeal the preliminary results.
Appeals must be directed to the Selection Committee and submitted to the Incentive and Promotion Sector, located at Praça Antônio Prado, nº 09 – 7º andar – Centro – São Paulo (SP) – CEP: 01010-010.
