The Herts Youth Games, sponsored by the Herts Sports Partnership has been running for 17 years, the games aim to introduce young people to new sports and link them with local clubs. The 2011 Herts Youth Games saw some 1000 young people participated in 10 different sports, another 5000 young people took part in the trials and training programmes for the event. 

The Victor Ludrum Trophy is the ultimate reward for the winning local authority team, however the overall aim of the Games is to celebrate sport and the emphasis is very much on taking part. The Games seek to raise the profile of sport, to promote the development of coaches, leaders and volunteers, and also to encourage sporting attitudes of health, fun, fair play and enjoyment of participation.

The 2011 Games took place on Saturday 26th of June where the 2010 winning district, East Herts, retained The Victor Ludrum Trophy. For more details and photographs of this years event click here.

The 2012 Games will take place on Saturday 8th July at the Hertfordshire Sports Village.
