Calling all young sports people!
The P&G Surrey Youth Games is a really exciting sporting event which allows young people of all ages to take part in a range of sports at a competitive level, against teams from the other 10 Boroughs and Districts of Surrey. It is a great opportunity to make some new friends and try your hand at some sports that you may not have played before,
Young people who live or go to school in the Borough of Epsom & Ewell, and are between the age of 7 to 15 years old are eligible to represent the Borough at the Games. Last year over 400 children enjoyed the benefits of our free tasters, trials and coaching sessions, which were organised within the Borough and begun in March and April.
This year's P&G Surrey Youth Games consists of 14 different sporting events including badminton, basketball, boccia (a game that is aimed at participants with disabilities similar to bowls), cricket, football, golf, high-5 netball, hockey, judo, netball, tag rugby, squash, swimming and tennis.
Young people that are below county standard in any sport are encouraged to get involved in the event. Through the Games it is hoped that participants will continue to get involved in sports through the links formed with local sports clubs via their coaches and other members who have been running the training sessions.
A variety of different clubs help provide high quality coaching, some of these include: Epsom Hockey Club, Sutton and Epsom Rugby Club, Sleeping Storm Judo Club and Ebbisham Sports Club who provide coaching for both squash and badminton.
