Youth Forum Network - Get involved!

We want archery to meet the needs of all our members, including our younger members. To involve children and young people in decision making processes in archery, whilst providing an opportunity to volunteer in the sport, we are inviting you to join our new network of AGB youth forums!

Archery School Competition - Consultation

Competition is a vital aspect of participating in sport- across all sports and at all levels in relation to school sport, access to regular and appropriate competitive sport is crucial to the development of every young person.

The new government policy for school sport has competition at the very heart of it. In September this year the School Games will be launched.

What are the School Games?

The School Games will be about providing a range of opportunities and approaches to enable more young people to take part. The School Games will not be a single event and it will not just be for talented young sports people. The focus for the School Games is about:

More young people competing

More regular competition and

Ensuring the opportunities are inclusive for all young people.

The Youth Sports Trust is launching the School Games with pilot sports this September and gradually all sports will be included. The Youth Sports Trust will start to engage with Archery GB in January 2012 ready for the inclusion of archery in the School Games in September 2012.

Competition format consultation

In preparation for our work with the Youth Sport Trust, we set up a consultation process to get your ideas on the existing competitions you run within schools. The deadline for this part of the consultation process has now been reached and we have collated the comments received.

The next step will be to review the existing formats and consider new formats prior to our work with the Youth Sport Trust in January.

Please contact kate.moss@archerygb.org for more information or to share your thoughts before January 2012.
