The School Games inspires young people to be physically active for life through positive experiences of daily activity and competition.
Working closely with a network of Sussex School Games Organisers, Active Sussex deliver the Sussex School Games through a series of events and festivals.
In Sussex, the School Games programme seeks not only to provide competitive pathway competitions for children and young people, but innovative and exciting opportunities for those whom traditional opportunities are less accessible to.
