The Scene

One of the many goals of the Hispanic Games is to reach out to the Hispanic community through positive experiences for the youth. Many leaders in the Hispanic communit come to the event providing an opportunity for students to meet positive role models.

This year, in addition to recognizing today's leaders, the Games recognizes the leaders of the future. Student Athletes who are leaders in the Hispanic community are nominated by teams and coaches in the community for their leadership skills and accomplishments.

This year three young men were recongnized as "Leaders of the Future."
