Super Games Centres are centres where:
A small-sided games format is provided for youth players
aged 12-17 years on an age related and developmental
needs basis incorporating ALL (Applied Lifelong Learning).
Basically it is sport in its purest form, where kids play our games just
for the sake of playing the game, there is minimal coaching input
involved. They are playing for fun and enjoyment.
- In 2017/18 schools participating in the Future Leaders
Programme will run 50 Super Games Centres / Blitzes.
