Parallel Winter Games (Disability) – Batley Sport & Tennis CentreThis event has been proposed following guidance from the WY disability sport group about holding the event on a weekend alongside the Winter Games. It was felt that schools would struggle to get participants to the event on a weekend due to additional transport and care needs. We have therefore planned a ‘parallel’ event during the week to accommodate the following sports:Disability Football, Disability Table Tennis, Disability Sports Hall Athletics and Inclusive Zone Basketball – all open entry.

HISTORY
West Yorkshire Youth Games 2011
The West Yorkshire Youth Games has been, for the past 13 years, the ultimate partnership event involving all five West Yorkshire local authorities, 18 School Sports Partnerships and ten National Governing Bodies of Sport. The teams that compete at the West Yorkshire Youth games are district winners having qualified through local schools events.
In some sports, teams that triumph at the West Yorkshire Youth Games will be offered the opportunity to represent West Yorkshire in further competitions through the National Governing Bodies of Sport.
The 2011s event was held in National Schools Sports Week on Wednesday 29th June 2011 at Leeds Metropolitan University – Carnegie Campus and Leeds University - Weetwood Campus.
Nearly 1000 children from Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield gathered to compete in West Yorkshire Sport's annual youth games. These children won the honour of representing their schools and districts in an exciting day of competition across ten sports; athletics, boccia, new age kurling, rugby league, tennis, badminton, gymnastics, cheerleading, cricket and netball.
