School games 2022

The City Council and the 24 Hours Sports Foundation resume the leagues of the School Games, which this year incorporate volleyball

The competitions will start tomorrow and will last until June.

The Estepona City Council informs that tomorrow the meetings of the different leagues that make up the School Games and in which the Primary and Secondary Education centers of the town participate will resume. The councilor attached to the Sports and Youth delegation, José Antonio Bandera, explained that during the last two years this competition has not been held due to the restrictions established by the health authorities for the control of Covid-19.

As reported by the municipal official, 8 different sports leagues will be played, such as 3x3 basketball, handball and futsal. In total there will be 46 teams that will participate in these competitions that will be played in a single round and that will last until June, the month in which the 45th edition of the 24 Sports Hours will be held.

Likewise, the mayor has announced as a novelty for this year, the incorporation of volleyball, which will be played as a conference in the new facilities on La Rada beach. With regard to this, he recalled that last year the City Council created sports spaces in different parts of the Estepona coast for the practice of volleyball. Thus, in the area of La Cala, 6 tracks were installed, which were transferred by the local company Montes Torres-Achedosol. Another 2 tracks were located in front of the Post Office and one more at the height of the ABC square.

According to the councilman, the form of volleyball on the beach is a sport that is gaining more and more followers among the young people of the population, so these new facilities help to meet this demand.

On the other hand, the School Athletics Days will begin shortly, which in each of its editions brings together more than 2,500 schoolchildren and culminates with a grand final that is held in the Athletics Stadium. The mayor has specified that this competition has never stopped being held during the pandemic period, since being an individual sport it did not pose any risk to the health of the participants.

Bandera has highlighted the educational nature of the School Games, since in addition to offering the possibility of practicing sports to a large number of children, this competition has its own philosophy and a main objective, which is to educate through sports discipline , in this way values such as camaraderie, respect for the rival or fair play are instilled.

Finally, the organization encourages all families who want to enroll their children in one of these competitions to get information through the 24 Hours Sports Foundation, the municipal Sports and Youth delegation or the monitor in charge of each educational center. .
