Who's it for?
- The Games are for young people aged 7-16 who live or go to school in Surrey.
- All the classes are for entry level and all abilities are welcome.
- They may not have had the chance to try out a certain sport or attend a club. Perhaps they’re not super active, or are put off by the thought of competing. This is all about letting young people who are beginners have a go!
- Last year, almost 1000 took part and loved it, 4/5 young participants said they felt happier after taking up a new activity.
- Give your child the opportunity to try a new activity for free.
“My daughter absolutely LOVED every week from the first time.”

- Each friendly activity coach has been handpicked to inspire young people.
- They’re experts at unlocking new skills with beginners in a relaxed way, encouraging your child to discover their potential!
- And, it goes without saying, they’re all qualified and fully vetted through DBS.
"Fantastic coaches… Definitely inspired to take it further.”
