London Youth Games

London Youth Games gives sports opportunities to 160,000+ young people per year


The London Youth Games (LYG) Foundation delivers the largest annual youth sports event in Europe, offering competitive and participation opportunities to over 160,000 young Londoners aged 7 to 17 across 37 sports, in 33 boroughs.

The charity is dedicated to empowering young people through sports by providing a platform for participation, competition, and personal development. We offer sports ranging from popular sports to more niche sports like kayaking and judo. We also offer a range of inclusive events aimed at young disabled people, including boccia, para swimming, para athletics and adapted multi-sport events.

We strive to foster a spirit of inclusivity, teamwork, and excellence, encouraging youth from diverse backgrounds to engage in healthy lifestyles, build lasting friendships and develop essential life skills. We aim to inspire the next generation of athletes and leaders, creating a legacy of passion for sports and community engagement across London.
