2021 School Games National Finals

Unfortunately there will be no spectators at the event this year due to the ongoing challenges with the pandemic. However to successfully deliver the event around 200 volunteers are needed, who will act as representatives for the event, so friendly, outgoing and reliable volunteers to fulfil a variety of roles are required.

The 2021 School Games is a multi-sport event for the UK's elite athletes of school age and the aim is to create an inspirational and motivational setting, that not only provides our elite young sports people with the opportunity to thrive and perform at the highest levels, but encourages more young people to take part and succeed in sport.

Who will be competing

Eleven National Governing Bodies of Sport are involved in the planning and running of their competitions at this event. Of the eleven sports, three of them, Athletics, Cycling & Triathlon, incorporate disability events, and two of them, Wheelchair Basketball and Wheelchair Tennis are Paralympic only sports. The remainder of the sports are, BMX, Hockey, Modern Pentathlon (Laser Run), Netball and Women`s Cricket.

Around 1,200 of the nation's finest young sports stars will participate in this event.
