Youth Games

The Youth Games is an annual event hosted by the County Sports Partnerships across the UK. Launched as the Millennium Games in 2000, the Youth Games allows children from across the County to come together and compete in a range of Sporting Activities, in a fun filled and exciting day.

Sunday 1st June 2008 saw the ninth annual North Yorkshire Youth Games where just under 1,500 children from across North Yorkshire competed in one of the most important fixtures in the county's sporting calendar.

Ampleforth college in Ryedale provided the backdrop to five hours of sporting competition, across 11 sporting disciplines.

The journey to the games began six months ago for some of the children when the competition was open to all children in North Yorkshire - aged between 8 and 16 when thousands of them competed through their schools, Local Authorities and local sports clubs.
