The Municipal Sports Institute of Playas de Rosarito (IMDER) congratulated the athletes, their families, and coaching staff for their work in promoting basketball as a foundation for discipline, teamwork, and character development.
IMDER noted that these efforts align with Mayor Rocío Adame’s vision of strengthening access to sports and physical activity for residents of all ages, with a particular focus on children. The initiative aims to encourage healthy lifestyles, positive community engagement, and alternatives to harmful behaviors.
Officials emphasized that sports not only build physical strength but also create positive environments that contribute to social development from an early age.
