    I don't think this is a good idea. Youth should spend time studying and doing social service instead playing life away.

    Very good move on the part of Valenbcial Parish to initiate the Valencia Premier League Tournament that will benefit not only the youth of many parishes and also the public.

    "Organization" is the key when a Catholic Parish becomes involved in the Sports competitions. Well esstablished Rules and Regulations are equally important in order to implement proper Tournament.

    Exchange of Sports competition also brings inter-parish relations so that the youth also becomes involved actively. Sports activities also bring closer solidarity amongst different faiths.
