<li>Assicurazione</li>



<li>Noleggio gratuito delle racchette da padel</li>



<li>Accesso agli spogliatoi, alla pista di atletica, all’area calisthenics e al campo da basket 3 vs 3 (momentaneamente non disponibile)</li>
</ul>



<p>Alcuni sport richiedono il certificato di idoneità sportiva non agonistica: potete utilizzare quello che eventualmente avete oppure, tramite l’abbonamento Basic, potete richiedere una visita medica gratuita presso il Centro sportivo Giuriati.</p>



<p>Alcuni tornei sono aperti anche ai dipendenti di tutto il Politecnico di Milano o a tutta la popolazione! In tal caso, verrà stilata una classifica interna in base al posizionamento delle nostre squadre.</p>



<p>Cosa fare per partecipare ai DICA Olympic Games:</p>



<ul>
<li><strong>Iscrivetevi, scegliendo gli sport a cui volete partecipare compilando il</strong> <strong><a href="https://forms.gle/xd4iUL2FyGxwrVBMA">form dedicato a questo link</a></strong></li>
