The 'Autonomous Beach Tennis Championship' will be played in Xàbia

This next weekend will be held on the Arenal beach in Xàbia the Autonomic Championship Beach Tennis. The presentation of this sporting event took place in the xabiero town hall with the presence of the mayor, José Chulvi, the mayor of sports, Vicent Colomer and José Bas, organizer of the comxicotetion.

Sports councilor Vicent Colomer said that "This year, this championship has a greater impact, there are more registrations and this is vital for Xàbia. Combining tourism with sports in a place as emblematic as the Arenal beach is positive". Colomer added that "The fact of having more federated players increases the level of the comxicotetion, the same thing happens with the increase of amateur players".

The organizer of the tournament, José Bas, thanked the City Council for the support that has been providing tennis for four years, a sport that already has more than 500 federated and has a significant growth. In the Valencian Community there are already five clubs that increase the number of players.

From the organization everyone is invited to enjoy the tournament that will start on Friday 4, with amateur and mixed parties. On Saturday 5, from 10 in the morning to 20: 30 hours, there will be games of mixed and amateur category. On Sunday 6, the scale is multiplied with people coming from the Valencian Community and from Madrid with a very high level. The amateur finals will be played from the 17 hours and the federated ones to the 18 hours.

The mayor, José Chulvi, commented that “In a moment of maximum tourist occupation and maximum activity, this championship is a great opportunity to enjoy the spectacular sport and at night of the Xàbia Jazz". Chulvi also noted that "Is a little of the sample that is Xàbia, not only offers landscape, beach, sun and gastronomy, but also seeks to give alternatives to the people who come to enjoy the holidays with us".
