The Astorga Square will attend the Deajedrez Sports Federations, Athletics, Badminton, Handball, Boxing, Fencing, Speleology, Soccer, Hockey, native games, Karate, Skating, Petanca, Rugby, Rescue and Safety and Tennis through different clubs in the province.

The fairs, focused on children between 3 and 13 years old, are structured in Yincana format, with the aim that participants can discover and practice each and every one of the different sports exhibited in the fierce enclosures. Each participant will be given a card at the beginning of the route and the monitor of each modality will seal the card once the activity is made.

Each participant, once the circuit is completed, will introduce the ballot into an urn, which will be placed at the end of the tour in the Afedecyl stand, with which it will participate in a final raffle with different awards provided by the Diputación de León.

Federations will make all the necessary material to practice each sports discipline with all security guarantees available to children. Thus, Boxing provides boxing, rescue and lifeguard gloves to learn to make cardiopulmonary, the fencing federation will dispose of the small rubber swords, masks and electronic markers, and even the federation of speleology will make available to the minors 3D glasses with which to explore the most spectacular caves in the region. In short, all the necessary material, so that hundreds of children enjoy these sport fairs.

In this way, the Diputación de León intends to encourage sport as an alternative of leisure among young people in summer, make visible and disseminate federated sport and arouse interest and attract new fans. Similarly, it seeks to publicize among the young people of the municipalities of the province of less than 20,000 inhabitants modalities that have a lower presence in the media.

September 6 will be Astorga’s turn, whose magnificent Plaza de Eduardo de Castro, located behind the Episcopal Palace, will host the III Sports Fair at the same time as the previous ones. The II Fair scheduled in the Riaño fight on August 23 had to be suspended due to the fires that occurred in that area.
