SPORTS GAMES “SANTA FE JUEGA”: AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ATHLETES?

Abstract

This article has the objective of be an interpretive analysis of the Santa Fe Juega School Sports Games. These school games take place every year at various stages in the province of Santa Fe, Argentina. This event will be analyzed under the categories Sport- Physical Education and Sport-Politics in order to understand this event that provides opportunities to some young people and perhaps the talent of other young people, who are under the shadow of an unfair competition in which athletes who compete in sports federations together with athletes despite perhaps having talent, they do not have this opportunity. That is the reason this event should separate the participants into categories in order to give equal opportunities and sports growth to both federated and non-federated athletes, giving chance to beginner athletes to progress.
