Virtual Competition - Autumn 2020
Following the huge success of our competitions in previous years, we are currently accepting entries for our Autumn 2020 virtual competition which will run from 1st October to 20th November 2020. This term, the competition is bigger and better value than ever before!
The competition meets the requirement of the School Games Mark to include a Level 0 Personal Challenge/Digital Competition. It is also perfect to enter during a time where actual school vs school competitions cannot take place and there are restrictions on what can be taught in terms of PE and Games.
There has never been a better time to get involved and at only £2 per class, it is outstanding value for money.
So what is a Virtual Competition?
Three times a year we challenge children to complete a number of sporting activities during their PE or Games lessons at school. The results from every member in the class are submitted and points awarded.
This autumn term there are five challenges to complete
- Shuttle Run
- Standing Long Jump
- Over and Under Challenge
- Super Strong Challenge
- Throw and Catch Challenge
All challenges require very little equipment or space, making them perfect during these times where restrictions are in place. Challenges can be easily adapted for younger or less able children.
Entry Cost
Entry per class is just £2.00
For this, you will receive
- Online tracking sheet for you to record the scores of each of the challenges.
- Full instructions of how to complete each of the five challenges including demonstration videos
- A template letter to share with parents if you wish
- A downloadable certificate to award to your pupils at the end of the competition
- Entry to the inter school competition and the chance to win a trophy for the highest scoring class across the country.
It's not all about winning though and instead more about children taking part in physical activity, promoting healthy lifestyles and competing against other schools from all over the country. During the competition window, you can practise the events as little or as often as you want in order to prepare the children.
There are no supply costs, no transport is needed and no risk assessments need to be written. Instead, simply incorporate the challenges into your PE lessons over a number of weeks. We have categories for every year group so the competition is fair.
