Hundreds of children begin training for Manx Youth Games

Fri, 27 Jan 2023


Hundreds of school children have started training for the Island's largest multi-sport event in 2023 - the Sporting Club Manx Youth Games.

Children from across the Island, aged 6 to 15, will attend regional training sessions over the coming months, with around 1,000 expected to participate on the big day on 13 May.

The sessions will cover 13 different sports, including a multi-sport offering for children with additional needs, and be delivered by qualified coaches and volunteers.

As well as learning a new sport, the programme teaches the value of team work and encourages children to continue with sport after the event by joining community clubs.

This year’s Games will continue its sustainable ethos with participants again wearing eco-friendly shirts and supplied with sustainably sourced water bottles.
