Over 500 young people from five local schools were recently involved in the Caradon Youth Games at Callington Sports College.

The event kicked off at 1.45pm with the welcome and introduction by Rob Francis, competition manager.

Throughout the afternoon pupils from the five schools and from across four year groups, battled it out across 12 different events. These events included street surfing, spinning, golf extreme, dance, gym and Futsal.

Rob Francis, competi­tion manager said: "The atmosphere throughout the afternoon was incredible; we had teams cheering on their school counterparts and really enjoying themselves. Each event was keenly contested and every school walked away having won at least one event."

Michelle Roberts, PDM for the Callington School Sport Partnership said: "This is the fifth year the games have run here at Callington and following last year's success, we have continued with the ethos of the games to target 'semi sporty' pupils who may be interested in a range of non traditional sports."

Callington School Sport Partnership wished to thank all coaches and deliverers that helped in making this event such a success.
