The UK Schools Games

The UK Schools Games is a new event based on the hosting in London of the 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games. It is a multi sport event for the most talented young people of school age in the country. This year the games will consist of 5 sports, these are athletics, swimming, gymnastics, table tennis and fencing there will be disability events in athletics & swimming.

Each of the five sports will take place in a 4 day programme in an environment designed to replicate the feel of a major event such as the Olympics & Paralympic Games.

Eight regional teams of 4 boys & 4 girls aged under 18 representing Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland (East), Scotland (West), England (North), England (South), England (East) and England (West) will be invited.
