New Formats Added for Six Sports!
We're excited to announce that today, six more sports now have updated formats.
The National Governing Bodies (NGBs) for Archery, Bowls, Goalball, MATP, Tennis, and Table Tennis have each worked closely with us to ensure that their formats are flexible, accessible, and aligned with the School Games' core intent. These updates will support more inclusive, engaging, and consistent delivery of intra- and inter-school competitions across the country.
Each new format follows a clear layout with sections designed for different audiences:
- SGOs (highlighted in pink): resources to support the delivery of inter-school competitions and advocate the sport to schools
- Schools (highlighted in green): guidance for intra-school competitions and curricular delivery
- Young People (highlighted in blue): tools to enable pupils to set up and deliver the activities themselves.
We encourage you to download the updated formats and share them with your schools so that all upcoming competitions reflect these new standards.
This launch builds on the earlier release of updated formats for seven other sports, as we continue our collaboration with NGBs throughout the year to refine and improve formats across the programme.
