TAGUM CITY AND DAVAO DEL NORTE TO HOST PHILIPPINE YOUTH GAMES NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS PhilBoxing.com Sat, 08 Oct 2016 After a long spell of uncertainty, young athletes from all over the country have felt a sense of allayment after it has been known that the Philippine Youth Games, popularly known as "Batang Pinoy" will finally be staged in the Palm City Capital of the Philippines. For months, parents, stakeholders and athletes alike have been quietly seeking for information regarding this year's ultimate grassroots multi-sporting event for young boys and girls at the national level but to no avail. All of that changed when it was reported on the website of Batang Pinoy that it will be staged on November 27 to December 2. The usual zone area eliminations, which have been a selection process for those who will qualify for the National Championships have been shelved. Other changes include the age eligibility, which was raised from 15 to 17 years old. This edition will definitely be very competitive as it will be considered an outright chance to be named national champions without having to go through an equally competitive zone eliminations. In boxing, modifications have been made in the age eligibility including scrapping the kids division 12-13 years old to make room for the juniors division 15-17 years old. This is to accommodate the changes made by PSC to increase the age eligibility from the usual 15 to 17 years old. There will be a total of 12 weight classifications across two age classes; school boys and girls 13-14 years old and juniors boys and girls 15-17 years old as per the tournament guidelines of PSC/ABAP in the Batang Pinoy website. Last year's overall champions in boxing CDO, GenSan and LSA are expected to field in a strong delegation, as well as other powerhouse teams in Panabo City, Cebu and Bago City among others.  |
