The UK School Games is an annual multi-sport events programme for the UK's elite young athletes of school age. The key sports in the programme include hockey, athletics, badminton, fencing, gymnastics, judo, swimming, table tennis, and volleyball.  There is also an integrated disability programme that includes athletics, swimming, and table tennis.  The website includes sections on News, City Info, Sports, Tickets, and Volunteers.  The news section includes all the latest updates, with photos, on the young athletes and a section called the fun zone where there are computer desktop wallpaper downloads and action picture galleries.  There is also a video section where you can watch the highlights of the games from previous years.

The website is relevant to Who Do We Think We Are because the UK School Games can be a key resource to support teaching and learning about diversity and cultural values through sport.  The site also links with the concept of active citizenship by encouraging youth volunteering at major sporting events and participation in community-based, local sports initiatives. Details about the importance of UK School Games in preparing aspiring elite athletes for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games feature throughout the website content at http://www.ukschoolgames.com/.
