On the Saturday of the Herts Youth Games some 1000 young people will participate in 10 sports, as representatives of their districts, and another 5000 young people will have taken part in trials and training programmes in the run up to the competition proper.

The Herts Youth Games have become synonymous with all that is good about sporting competition, and although the weekend will deliver winners the emphasis is very much on taking part. The games will aim to introduce young people new sports and link them into possible clubs to join..

The Herts Youth Games Association will deliver the event, with the support of the HYG Event Manager Tony Marmo and National Governing Body’s of Sport Officers.

I have every confidence that with the support of the Herts Sports Partnership, Herts Is Ready for Winners and the 12 Hertfordshire School Sports partnerships, this year’s Herts Youth Games will be another resounding success.
