HSBC Manx Youth Games
HSBC Manx Youth Games
The HSBC Manx Youth Games is the biggest multi sport event for children on the Isle of Man which attracts over 1000 participants in 12 different sports. It is open to children in school Year 2 - 9.
The HSBC Manx Youth Games event itself is held in May each year but weekly training sessions also take place around the Island in preparation for the event from January/February. This year the training sessions will commence on 16th February and the event itself will take place on Saturday 18th May 2013.
Training sessions in 12 different sports take place every week in all 4 regions of the Island (North, South, East & West) so there are plenty of opportunities for children to get involved in sport. For a full schedule of when and where each of the training sessions are taking place please download the 2013 MYG Training Programme.
After all the hard work and effort put into the weekly training sessions, children come together on the day of the Manx Youth Games to put their new skills into action against teams from the other regions of the Island.
The day begins with an opening ceremony at the NSC with all participants marching onto the track in their brightly coloured t-shirts representing the team they are competing for:
Red – North, Orange – South, Blue – West, Green - Douglas South, Yellow - Douglas North
The highlight of the opening ceremony is the group warm up which takes place to music in front of the packed grandstand. Children then move off to different venues to compete in their respective sports.
Each of the sports then finishes the day with a presentation of medals to all of the participants.
Cost
Each Manx Youth Games training session a child attends will cost just £1.00. There is no need to pre-book sessions or to pay in bulk up front – just turn up, pay and play!
