Leicester-Shire & Rutland School Games

In the run up to the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, your school has the chance to boost your existing work in school sport to create a year-round calendar of competition for all your students.

The Leicester-Shire & Rutland School Games is a new approach to competitive school sport designed to motivate and enthuse all young people across Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland.

The School Games, starting in September 2011, is a celebration of competitive sport that will involve all young people in years 3 to 13, of all abilities and backgrounds. The School Games is made up of four levels of competition:

Intra-School Competitions Level 1 (Pathway to Level 2)

Sporting competition between house teams, form groups, or in PE lessons can be the first experience for many young people. Level 1 builds on the existing year-round programme of regular intra-school competition that culminates in a 'School Games Day'. This should be available to all young people, regardless of their age or ability.

Inter-School Competition Level 2 (Pathway to Level 3)

Individuals or teams are selected to represent their school, to compete in leagues and tournaments, against other local schools in their 'partnership area'.

Super-Series Finals and School Games Championships (Level 3)

Winning teams from Level 2 leagues and tournaments will represent their 'partnership area' at county-wide level finals events (inc. City & Rutland schools):

Super-Series Finals are running throughout the year in a selection of sports, feeding to regional and national competitions.

The School Games Championships will be a multi-sport showcase event taking place on Tuesday 10th July 2012.

National Multi-Sport Event (Level 4)

The country's most talented athletes of school age will be specially selected by their National Governing Body of Sport (NGB) to compete in a national finals day in May 2012.
