About Agrupación Deportiva de la Sierra

The Agrupación Deportiva de la Sierra (ADS) is an association made up of 19 municipalities of the Sierra de Guadarrama. Its main activity is the organization, control and monitoring of sports competitions of the children’s Basic Series, within the framework of the Deporte Infantil program of the Community of Madrid.

History and legal recognition

The association was created at the initiative of the Provincial Delegate for Physical Education and Sports of Madrid in early 1981, in order to resolve the lack of participation and coordination between municipalities and athletes of the area. The first technical meetings were held between El Escorial, Collado Villalba and San Lorenzo de El Escorial, and the founding charter was signed in February 1981 in El Escorial. In 1988 it obtained legal recognition by registering in the Register of Sports Associations of the Community of Madrid, under the terms of Law 2/86 on Physical Culture and Sportsss.
