In addition, five representatives has been selected from the sports clubs in the town, the presidents of Club de Atletisme Llebeig Xàbia, Centre Excursionista Xàbia (CEX), Club Bàsquet Joventut Xàbia, Club Tenis Jávea and Club Handbol Xàbia.
The sports council will also benefit from representation from the different political parties in the municipality, the Consell Escolar, private companies of the sector in Xàbia, and the municipal sports coordinator. Whilst the sessions will be open to any interested person, aonly members have the right to vote.
The councillor added that, once the administrative and creation phase has been concluded, the Consell de l’Esport will be taking centre stage and become a key body to set the policies for the promotion of sport in Xàbia and a very useful tool for the council in an area such as sports, for which the municipality has a very rich and diverse reputation and encourages hundreds of residents of all ages to participate.
