The Provincial Council postpones the sports instructors course by court order

The Provincial Council of Ourense has postponed the holding of the Update Course for sports monitors of local entities (AF-54-2026), dedicated to models and systems for injury management through movement, after the Court of First Instance No. 1 of Ourense (Contentious-Administrative Section) admitted the appeal filed by the General Council of Colleges of Physiotherapists of Spain. The decision was adopted by Presidential Resolution on November 9, 2026, no. 2026/16479, and published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Ourense on November 13, 2026, in section I. The postponement leaves without a date a training action of 30 teaching hours and 15 places aimed at personnel of the sports services of the councils and associations of municipalities of the province.

The judicial origin of the postponement

The provincial body agreed to postpone the start of the course “until a new date to be determined by the Council of Ourense”, as a precautionary measure, having evidence that the court admitted for processing the contentious-administrative appeal presented on October 28, 2026, against the call for the training action. The judicial communication received by the institution is dated November 5, 2026.

The resolution explains that the appellant requests, as a precautionary measure, the suspension of the course “under the approved terms and until the Court pronounces on said measure”, which is why it is considered appropriate to leave the call suspended. The agreement is signed by the delegated deputy for Finance, Economy, and Human Resources, Marta Nóvoa Iglesias, and bears registration number R. 2.727.

Three resolutions and a calendar change

The training action had been called by Presidential Resolution 2026/11163, of July 17, 2026, published in the BOP no. 162, of August 26, 2026, under the Continuous Training Program that the Council designs annually for local Administration personnel. That first version was titled “models and systems for the treatment of injuries” and set the dates between October 3 and November 1.

Resolution 2026/14047, of September 23, 2026 (BOP no. 186, of September 29), modified the title, which changed to “injury management”, and moved the in-person sessions to November 7, 8, 14, and 15, 2026, with a duration of 30 hours. The call established Friday, September 25, 2026, as the deadline for submitting applications.

The current calendar, therefore, placed the start of the course on November 7, while the suspension resolution is dated November 9 and was not published in the provincial gazette until November 13.

Who was called to take the course

The bases approved in July and modified in September determined these points:

• Recipients: personnel in the service of the local Administration who hold positions in the sports services and facilities of the Deputación de Ourense or the councils and associations of the province as sports coordinators or instructors.
• Access preference: workers of the local entities adhered to the 2026 continuous training Program of the Deputación de Ourense, with the possibility of occupying vacant places by personnel from the state and regional Administration.
• Modality and duration: in-person, 30 teaching hours, in a single edition.
• Places: 15 participants.
• Location: classroom of the “Paco Paz” Pazo dos Deportes, at Finca Sevilla, 41, Ourense.
• Content: anatomical reminder, structure and functions of the muscular, skeletal and nervous systems, biomechanics applied to readaptation, types and analysis of the most common injuries (upper limb, trunk and lower limb) and sequences of exercises permitted in sports activity.
• Diploma: attendance and punctuality at all sessions are required, with a limit of justified absences of 15% of the teaching hours.

Appeals process

The publication in the bulletin informs interested parties that an appeal for reversal may be filed against the act before the same body that issued it within one month, or, directly, a contentious-administrative appeal before the Contentious-Administrative Court of Ourense within two months. Both appeals cannot be pursued simultaneously and the deadlines are counted from date to date starting from the day following the notification.

The suspension leaves one of the actions of the 2026 continuous training plan in limbo and forces the local entities that already had registered personnel to readjust work schedules and shifts while awaiting a new date, which only the Deputación de Ourense will set once the court rules on the precautionary measure.
