VIOLENCE IN SPORT. YOUTH SPORT ISSUES Some of the world’s top youth sports experts will convene in San Antonio, Texas in mid-September for the first-ever International Youth Sports Congress.
The Congress, which will be held at the Adam’s Mark Hotel & Resort, is open to youth sports administrators, league presidents, volunteer coaches, parents, officials, and anyone else with an interest in organized youth sports. Lester Munson, an associate editor at Sports Illustrated, will deliver the keynote address, which will focus on the growing trend of anger and violence in youth sports.
