The Mini Youth Games Series
This year we celebrate the 25th year of the Mini Youth Games (MYG).
The MYG, supported by Child-friendly Medway, is a competition and sports participation series available to all Medway primary schools.
Each competition is available to children in year 5 and year 6, but schools can also use talented year 4 children (when required).
The games have been running for more than 20 years, with around 4,000 primary school children now taking part in the series every year.
Prizes are awarded at each event and points are gained towards the overall MYG title. The events revolve around a fair play ethos and a fair play trophy is awarded at each event and there is an annual participation prize for the school that
The games also provide opportunities for young volunteers, including officiating training, as well as showcasing some of the amazing clubs and club venues we have in Medway.
