After a year in which young people have missed out on so much and had their worlds turned upside down, sport and physical activity are playing an essential role in their recovery. 

National School Sport Week 2021 celebrated the return of youth sport and its power to bring people back together with a week of school sports days held up and down the country. The theme of this year’s campaign was Together Again and we asked you to join in by organising or supporting an event this week. 

Schools, families and communities across the UK were encouraged to sign up and share their commitment to holding a sports day between 19 and 25 June this summer. 

Everyone who signed up received free resources from the Youth Sport Trust, including the ultimate guide to staging an inclusive sports day, top tips on harnessing the power of sport to bring young people together and advice on how to give young people a voice in organising their sports days.

Saturday morning events are 5k and take place in parks and open spaces. On Sunday mornings, there are 2k junior park runs for children aged four to 14.
