Canet de Mar hosted this Tuesday, November 10th, the second day of the Maresme Newcom League, a competition organized by the Consell Esportiu del Maresme that promotes sports practice among the elderly.

The day began at 9:45 AM with the match between a team from Canet de Mar and the team from El Masnou. The game was experienced with great emotion, both on the court and in the stands, which were filled with spectators ready to cheer on the participants.
Newcom is an adapted form of volleyball where the ball is caught and thrown instead of hit. It is a practice specifically designed to promote physical activity for the elderly, while fostering teamwork, social relationships, and active aging. The Maresme region is one of the territories promoting this discipline, with participation from teams from various municipalities.
The competition will continue in fifteen days with a highly anticipated match: Canet 1 versus Canet 2, a local derby that will bring together the municipality's two teams.
The celebration of this second day in Canet de Mar contributes to raising the profile of Newcom and highlighting sport as a space for participation, coexistence, and well-being at any age.
