Games hit the streets


25/ 8/2006

HUNDREDS of youngsters who don't normally play sport will head for Manchester's SportCity next Friday (Sept 1) for the North West Street Games.

Teams of around 50 youngsters will take part in Kwik cricket, Tag rugby, 3V3 basketball, High 5 netball and Futsal - a soccer game developed in South America and credited with honing the skills of Brazil's famed players.

The one-day event has an opening and closing ceremony with medals awarded to winning individuals and teams.

Its aim is to encourage healthier activity and a sporting spirit. It is sponsored by youth fitness specialists, SHOKK Ltd.
