What are School Sports Day Events?

Remember the good old days of playing sport on a school field whilst competing against the other houses? That's what it is! We take you back in time by playing fun classic games you would have played at school.

We specialise in the old school sports day aimed at smaller groups under 30 and our corporate sports day aimed at larger groups and teams.

What is the Origin of Sports Days?

In the UK, it was played in schools nationwide at the beginning of summer, just before school broke up for the summer holidays. Children compete in inter-house sports day games individually and in teams to earn points for their house.

The games played on school sports days are varied, but the classics that most people remember are; sprints, relay races, egg & spoon, three-legged races, sack races and many more. Some schools allowed parent and child races.

School sports days are played throughout the world.

In the USA, they call them field days

In India, they last for 2-3 days and include games like football, cricket & dodgeball

In Russia, it traditionally runs on the 2nd Saturday in August

Where do you host School Sports Days?
