The Edinburgh Airport Youth Games 2011

The Edinburgh Airport Youth Games- the City's biggest annual youth sports extravaganza.

The Edinburgh Youth Games has been going for 12 years and each year it gets bigger and better. This year the special day is THURSDAY 12th MAY- pop it in your diaries now!

We will be hosting 18 different competitions at 9 venues. The day is all about taking part and having fun and its a great opportunity to give some new sports a try. This year we are introducing 3 new sports to the event these are dancing, swimming and climbing!

Every year we set a theme for the big day and this year is no different, this year we are challenging you to go on your own sporting journey. We want you to explore what sport means to people in your chosen country. For example, who are the sporting heroes that your chosen country is proud of or what sporting tournaments or venues put your country on the world map? In addition, this is the year that you will become masters of your own destiny by setting some sporting challenges, either as a school or as individuals, in advance of the Games themselves!

You will receive your challenge booklet before you go off for your easter holidays. We will send your pack straight to your school, there are 6 journeys to complete and you can do these on your own, with a friend or with your family and you can complete these anytime you like as long as it is before the big day!

As always we will start the day with an action packed opening ceremony at Meadowbank Sports Centre, introducing this year's theme and welcoming all the schools taking part, we will then start the sports competitions; which your school will have entered you in to, then there are 3 full hours of the Festival of Fun which this year includes; hula hooping, sumo suits, footie speed-shot, clubgolf and much, much more!
