## Youth Games

[edit]

The Youth Parapan American Games is an international multi-sport event for athletes aged 12 to 21 with physical disabilities.[2] The games were created after the 2003 Pan American Games in order to reduce the large average age gap between countries in the Americas. [3] The games are held every four years, staggering with the Pan American and Parapan American games, with first of its kind being held in 2005 in Barquisimeto, Venezuela.
