CRESO was born in 2009 as a result of an initiative between INICIA and the Dominican Olympic Committee (DOC) to create an entity that promotes the development of high-performance Olympic athletes accompanied with a focus on their academic formation, in order to promote the development of leadership and model citizens.
In mid-2011, CRESO is constituted as a non-profit entity composed of Dominican business corporations/the entrepreneurial community and the Dominican Olympic Committee (DOC) as a technical-sports entity.
CRESO currently invests in seventeen Olympic disciplines: Athletics, Basketball, Boxing, Equestrian, Fencing, Gymnastics, Golf, Judo, Karate, Wrestling, Swimming, Weightlifting, Tennis, Taekwondo, Skateboarding, Table Tennis and Sailing (Kite Surfing).
