The 2010 P&G Surrey Youth Games will take place over the weekend of 19 and 20 June in Guildford.

All eleven Districts and Boroughs in Surrey enter teams into the thirteen different sporting events. There are events for all ages, including events for young people with a disability. To find out more details about a particular sport, please click on the links on the right hand panel.

Anyone can take part by attending coaching and training sessions, which are usually free, in their borough. These take place in April and May each year. All competitors must either live or go to school in a borough in order to be eligible to compete for that borough.

The aim of the Games is to develop sport in Surrey. Via the Games, the following outcomes are achieved:

More young people take part in competitive sport, and continue to take part in sport after the Games.
More sports clubs become accredited by their National Governing Body, thereby improving the quality of sports clubs in Surrey.
More people become qualified in sports coaching and officiating.
New junior sports clubs or sections are created.

Venue

The event is being held at the brand new and magnificent Surrey Sports Park in Guildford. The schedule of which sport takes place on each day is as follows:

We need YOU!

Over 200 volunteers help to make the Games happen each year. The range of roles completed by volunteers include:

Taking coaching sessions in the lead up to the Games
Officiating the matches over the weekend
Recording scores, timekeeping and generally assisting with the running of one of the sports events
Helping with event management over the weekend

We need 1,000 hours of volunteers' time over the weekends of the next three Games (2010, 2011 & 2012) to make them a success. We are looking for event staff and sports officials. Training is available for non-experienced volunteers and who knows - it could lead on to helping at the world's greatest sporting event being held in London in 2012!!!
