About

Published on: 10th December 2012

The Sainsbury's School Games is a unique opportunity to motivate and inspire millions of young people across the country to take part in more competitive school sport.

The Games are made up of four levels of activity: competition in schools, between schools, at county/area level and a national finals event:

Level 1 - sporting competition for all students in school through intra-school competition

Level 2 - individuals and teams are selected to represent their schools in local inter-school competitions

Level 3 – the county/area will stage multi-sport Sainsbury's School Games festivals as a culmination of year-round school sport competition

Level 4 – the Sainsbury's School Games finals: a national multi-sport event where the most talented young people in the UK will be selected to compete in our sporting venues (including the Olympic Park in 2012).

HISTORY

West Yorkshire Youth Games

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.

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.
