Competitions, Leagues and Events

Creating Positive Experiences

Team MCR manages one of the biggest and most comprehensive calendar of school sport competitions for Manchesters’ Primary, Secondary and Special schools. There are over 350 annual events, leagues and competitions.

Our programme incorporates Leagues, Competitions, Festivals and Events that are designed to encourage physical activity and create positive experiences by ensuring competition provision reflects the motivation, competence and confidence of our young people.

Our Competition programme delivers across 26 sports with opportunities for schools to enter:

Competition Excel

Excel competitions give children who are confident and competitive the chance to compete in a welcoming and developmental setting.

Inclusion

This is a series of inclusion specific events and activities, perfect for SEN students, from Special and Mainstream schools, also ideal for students who may be inactive, have low confidence, emotional or behavioural needs. Sports include:

Boccia
Change 4 Life Festival
Cross-Country
Goalball
New Age Kurling
Panathlon
Sportshall Athletics
Swimming
Track & Field Athletics

Inspire Events

Inspire events and festivals introduce sports and activities in a fun rather than competitive environment.

These festivals and events have a greater emphasis on participation, building physical literacy, skills and confidence. They have a focus on the learning and development of the individual (not the result) and achieving their personal best. These festivals will all be under-pinned by the School Games Values.
