During a recent meeting of the Camara de Representantes in Puerto Rico, a significant discussion emerged regarding the management of youth sports events. Representative Hernández emphasized the necessity for organizations to submit a detailed calendar of events, aligning with existing regulations to ensure that young athletes do not face an excessive number of competitions.
Hernández stated, "What we want is for them to submit calendars based solely on what the regulations establish." This approach aims to effectively manage the number of games and events for minors, ensuring their well-being and compliance with the law. The representative highlighted that the responsibility to create and maintain a unified sports calendar lies with the organizations, as mandated by the proposed legislation.
The conversation also touched on the challenges posed by budget constraints, with Hernández noting the need for creativity in managing resources if the budget is not approved. "We are going to be creative," he said, indicating a proactive stance in addressing potential funding issues.
In response to concerns about the impact of sports events on the physical and emotional health of minors, Hernández confirmed that interventions have already begun to address these issues. The meeting underscored the importance of structured oversight in youth sports, aiming to foster a healthier environment for young athletes in Puerto Rico.
