Leeds holds the West Yorkshire Youth Games High Fives Championship trophy with Froebelian School. Froebelian were runners up in 2010 and won the title in 2011. We hope to maintain this calibre of performance and encourage schools to participate in the game – with boys and girls.

The Show Case will also consult schools regarding the development of School Leagues in all areas of the City leading to the progression to the City Finals. Some areas already operate leagues, others don’t, and we hope to develop sufficient interest so that leagues will be operated across all schools. The consultation on the day will help determine the feasibility and interest. This proposed increased participation will offer children additional matches, significant opportunities to develop abilities and increase the chances of qualifying for the City Finals.
It is hoped the Festival will stimulate interest from the young players and school staff alike in preparation for the High Fives School competition. I look forward to meeting you on the day.
I extend an invitation to you and your school to enter the Festival and welcome your feedback on the leagues during the event
