County festivals of sport get £4 million of National Lottery funding
Hundreds of thousands of young athletes will have the chance to come together and take part in festivals of sport after Sport England invested £4 million of National Lottery funding into the organising of the multi-sport events.

Forming part of the School Games, the annual county festivals of sport are the third level of the School Games structure and are a culmination of the ongoing programme of intra-school and inter-school competition.

More than 100,000 competitors and
nearly 14,000 young volunteers will
take part in the country festivals of sport.
  
The funding will be used to establish 46 local organising committees, who will be responsible for organising and delivering the festivals.

Each committee will be made up of representatives from local schools, county sports partnerships, young people, and national and local sports providers.

“The School Games will help inspire a generation of young people to take part in sport," said Mike Diaper, Sport England’s Youth and Communities Director. “The local organising committees will showcase and deliver the finals of the all-year-round inter school competition across 30 sports.

“Alongside our Olympic legacy programme, Places People Play, this will ensure we build a lasting sporting legacy beyond next year’s Olympic and Paralympic Games.”

The committees will also be supported by the Youth Sport Trust, which has been commissioned by Sport England to develop and deliver the School Games until 2013.


Greater Manchester School Games was one of nine regions chosen to pilot these events. More than 1,500 young people from 200 primary, secondary and special schools competed in 11 different sports at some of Manchester’s most prestigious 2002 Commonwealth Games venues. The event was supported by more than 250 student volunteers, who formed the School Games crew helping run and promote the event.

“The Greater Manchester School Games were an outstanding success bringing together so many volunteers and competitors in some of the country’s best World Class sports facilities,” said Richard Saunders, Greater Manchester Sport’s Chief Executive.


At least 60 festivals are expected to take place in the first year and will involve more than 100,000 competitors and nearly 14,000 young volunteers. As a key part of the School Games, the county festivals of sport will help ensure a lasting sporting legacy for young people beyond London 2012.
