The UK School Games is an inclusive, multi-sport event for elite, young athletes of school age. It aims to provide talented young sports people from the UK with the opportunity to compete in an event which replicates the feel of the Olympic and Paralympics Games.
It also provides opportunities for young people to experience working as a volunteer or official. Hundreds of young people play key roles each year as event volunteers and technical officials, recruited through the Step into Sport programme and training courses run by National Governing Bodies of Sport.
The UK School Games is a key aspect of the systemic change that is occurring to the landscape of competitive sport for young people in the UK. It is inspirational and encourages more young people to take part in sport.
