Events & Competitions

It’s our vision for every child to be active in order to lead happy, healthy lives.

Move More hosts the School Games Organiser (SGO) for Cheltenham & Tewkesbury districts.

At Move More we want every child to have the opportunity to represent their school at a sporting event! To be as inclusive as possible, our competition calendar provides a variety of competitive and non-competitive events for all year groups and specific groups of children, such as SEND, the less active, girls and children who aren’t part of a club.

We cover most sports across the calendar in multiple formats (EYFS/KS1/KS2, girls only, A/B team etc), these include, athletics, football, netball, swimming, cricket, gymnastics, dance, hockey, archery, rounders, multi- skills, tag rugby, tennis and more!

The School Games is a centrally funded government offer to schools, due to the nature of our large scale events, there is sometimes a charge attached to entry to pay for costs associated with delivering these events.

Where possible, we try to make events free. Schools are able to enter School Games events on an individual basis if that best serves the school. The CORE Membership includes all entry fees to School Games events and non School Games events.
