The '''National Center of High Performance Athletics''' (known as '''Ce.N.A.R.D.''' for its initials in Spanish: '''''Ce'''ntro '''N'''acional de '''A'''lto '''R'''endimiento '''D'''eportivo'') is the sports complex where most [[Argentina|Argentine]] sportspeople (especially [[Athletics (sport)|athletes]]) who compete internationally are trained.

The CeNARD is located at 1050 Crisólogo Larralde Avenue, in the [[Núñez, Buenos Aires|Núñez]] district of [[Buenos Aires]], Argentina. The area where it is located, facing the [[Río de la Plata]], was the site of the Carl Diem Gymnasium from 1954 until 1960, and the CeNARD was built between 1973 and 1980. The establishment occupies an approximated land area of {{convert|11.5|ha|acre}}.<ref>[http://www.deportes.gov.ar/estructura.php Sports Secretariat: structure {{in lang|es}}] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090314140615/http://www.deportes.gov.ar/estructura.php |date=2009-03-14 }}</ref>

The center also houses the Argentine Sports Secretariat and a gymnasium with a [[seating capacity]] for 2,000 spectators. The smaller Humberto Selvetti Gymnasium hosts amateur [[boxing]] competitions, and the center also houses numerous [[tennis]] courts, [[track and field]], [[Javelin throw|javelin]] and [[field hockey]] venues, indoor arenas, an olympic-sized swimming pool and a fully equipped medical center.

It was the main sports site of the [[2006 South American Games]] and one venue of the [[2018 Summer Youth Olympics]].
