Devon Summer School Games 2019

Wednesday the 19th June saw the Devon Summer Games which is a Level 3 county wide event formed of teams who have qualified in prior Level 2 events in their areas within Devon.

To start the day there was an opening ceremony, in which there was a chance for the children to cheer on the Lionesses at the women’s world cup. This was followed by a BMX stunt man, who captured all the children’s attention.

The events for the day were held at Exeter Arena and St Luke Science and Sport College.

Events that took place on the day were:

• Tag Rugby
• Super 8 / Quadkids
• Rounders
• Mini Red Tennis
• Tri Golf / Super 6 Golf

There were also plenty of taster sessions on offer to the children to keep them active throughout the whole day these included:

• Fencing
• Skateboarding
• Football

The weather wasn’t the best but the majority of the rain held off for the athletes to compete in the dry.

Huge congratulations to everyone for qualifying for the Level 3 events and an even bigger congratulation to the winners on the day.

A huge thank you to Active Devon for organising another fantastic event as well as other members of staff and a special thank you to all of the Young Leaders from Devonport High School for Boys, Plymstock School, St Boniface’s, Eggbuckland CC and Stoke Damerel CC who helped out during the day.
