Over 450 children enjoy multi-sport day at SportsDock

​​​​Eight sports were provided by some of the UK's most elite sporting bodies.

The festival delivered an exciting line-up of eight different sports activities provided by some of the UK’s elite sporting bodies. The sports catered for every child attending, whether they had a passion for cricket, got a rush from athletics, or were ready to test their balance on skateboards. We also brought the exhilarating thrill of laser run, delivered by Pentathlon GB, and the high-energy excitement of 3x3 basketball, ensuring an unforgettable experience for all.

Students had the chance to delve into the rich sporting heritage through an exhibition featuring items from the British Olympic Association archive collection, proudly housed at UEL. Notably, the London 2012 Olympic torch, Sir Mo Farah's Team GB running top, and other memorabilia from the iconic 2012 Olympics were on display.

More than just sport

The Sport in Your Futures Festival wasn't just about the sport, though. It was an opportunity for children to have a day out exercising, experiencing the University of East London, and engaging with classmates. It was a celebration of community, teamwork, and the power of sport to bring people together, which aimed to showcase the correlation between physical activity, education, and growth.

We’d like to thank everyone who attended and made the event a success. If you’d like to find out more about the Sport in Your Futures programme, check out our webpage.
