Worcestershire Virtual School Games
With the return to school in 2021 continuing to be very challenging, and the continued cancellation of events, Active Herefordshire and Worcestershire and the School Games Organisers have been working hard to bring the annual School Games festivals to school sites. In the autumn term, Worcestershire schools took part in exciting sport and physical activity challenges including Pentathlon, Infant Agility and New Age Kurling. These challenges provided children and young people with the opportunity to compete against themselves, striving to achieve their personal best, as well as against others to improve their performance as part of a team.
So far, over 18,200* young people from 210* primary, middle, high and special schools in the county have taken part in the Worcestershire Virtual School Games. (*non-unique)
This term (spring 2021), Worcestershire children will have a further opportunity to get active in the Worcestershire Virtual Spring School Games through our multi-skills and multi-sport challenges. These are open to all primary and secondary aged pupils, whether at home or in school, with the focus being to have fun and be active!
All challenges will incorporate the fundamental movement skills required for:
- handball
- basketball
- netball
- athletics
- rugby
- hockey and
- boccia.
We would love to see you all being active! Please keep us updated with your efforts by uploading your photos and videos using #WorcsVirtualSG and tag our social media @ActiveHW
Each participant will receive an e-certificate to recognise their participation in the virtual School Games.
