Kent will stage Europe’s largest school sports
event and double Olympic gold medallist Kelly Holmes will be
on hand to launch it next month.
The 2010 Kent School Games is being organised
by Kent County Council and will involve 545 schools.
The Games will give more than 30,000 young
people, aged five to 16 the chance to compete in 38 different
sports, including disability sports, with local heats running from
October and culminating in a series of finals events in July
2010.
Holmes will attend Hayesbrook Sports College,
Bower Grove School and Allington Primary School on Thursday,
October 1 and will join around 900 young people to help launch the
event.
Holmes said: “I am delighted to be part
of the launch and best of luck to all those competing.”
