Concordia, Argentina.  In a good year for Basque pelota in the country, with a Project in progress supported by FEVA to create Handball and Xare schools in the Basque clubs, the first of these was opened on November 18 at the trinquete at the local Progreso Club in Concordia where children of both sexes will be taught and trained in both disciplines.

On the school’s first day, Project directors, Pablo Ubierna and Sebastian Errecart, taught a lesson of the game and gave a talk on Basque pelota.  A group of pelotaris from Chacosmus, including Estanislao Alfonsín, Tomás Menchacabaso, Lorenzo Vázquez and Tomás Scardigno also helped with practice and played an exhibition handball match.,
