MSR says sport has big social benefits as well as physical
The Isle of Man continues to 'punch above its weight' when it comes to popularity and success in local and global sport.
That's the belief of Manx Sport & Recreation as the 2022 Manx Youth Games get underway on Island today (7 May).
The games are aimed at helping younger generations on the Isle of Man stay active.
Senior sports development officer Aaron Quinn says the benefits of sport can go beyond the physical aspects:
