Helping develop a lifelong love of sport through the Specsavers Youth Games
Hundreds of young children have been given a taste of sport which might just lead to a lifelong love affair thanks to the Specsavers Youth Games.
Every two years over the past two decades the Games, organised by the Guernsey Sports Commission, have been instrumental in helping children try out a new sport, importantly giving them support through training and familiarisation with venues, before some friendly team based competition on the final day culminates in an energetic and colourful closing ceremony that lasts long in the memory.
This time around 800 children took part in 23 sports.
The Commission's Nicky Will and Squash development officer Martin Watts join us to discuss the event and its impact.
