The Regional Sports Council, organized by the Consell Esportiu del Maresme, convened in Premià de Mar to discuss key issues such as the use of Catalan in training sessions and the promotion of physical activity through primary care.

The meeting was attended by Aleix Corral, Sports Councilor of Teià, and representatives from other town councils and sports-related organizations. The aim was to share insights on projects being driven by various institutions in the sports sector.
Silvana Casal, from the Consorci per a la Normalització Lingüística, presented the campaign "Entrenem en català" (Let's Train in Catalan), which aims to encourage the use of the language in training and competitions. It was highlighted that, despite the widespread knowledge of Catalan, there is still room for greater use in the daily communication of teams and clubs.
Carme Bastida, representing the Generalitat, outlined changes in the organization of the sports sector and explained the functioning of the sports prescription program. This initiative will enable primary care professionals to recommend physical activity to patients who could benefit, in coordination with municipal sports facilities.
The gathering also showcased the work of the Senior Citizens' Consultative Council of the Consell Comarcal del Maresme in promoting physical activity among the elderly. The day concluded with the selection of winners for the Regional Sportsman/Sportswoman of the Year awards, which will be presented soon.
