The 2019/20 LLR Active Schools County Finals Calendar contains all County Finals that will take place this academic year for both the Team & School Games competition programmes and is the culmination of the local school sport offer. It contains key play-by dates for local SSPAN inter-school qualification rounds and some basic information on formats. If you are interested in any of the competitions included, please contact your local SGO for more information and to get your school involved (https://www.lrsport.org/sspans).

The competition structure has been developed to enable more individual young people to represent your school in sport or physical activity at a level that is appropriate to their interests and competencies. Each competition has been allocated to a tier, with a description of the tiers as follows. Please ensure that you are aware of the tier of competition and select your teams appropriately.

Performance based competitions catering for the most talented athletes and teams that your school can field, subject to some eligibility criteria (e.g. National Governing Body age restrictions on competitions). These competitions are an opportunity to showcase the sporting prowess of your school and for teams to progress to County finals and in most competitions to Regional and National finals. We would advocate an ‘in it to win it’ approach to team selection for these Performance competitions, however this does not mean that schools with ‘weaker’ sides should not enter as Competition the local SSPAN and County Final structure will allow each school to perform at their relevant level as it has done so in the past.

In real terms these competitions - e.g. Team Leicestershire football - will continue to function as they have in previous years. In this strand of competitive school sport, the focus is to increase the number of individual pupils that represent schools. These competitions provide the opportunity for less-engaged students, or those that are engaged but are perhaps less talented in traditional sports, to participate in non-traditional competitions. The ideal model for this is that the pupils that represent a school in the ‘Performance Competitions’ would not be eligible to play in ‘Development Competitions’, though we understand that there may be some crossover for smaller schools. Development This competition tier is mostly based on existing but also some more 'alternative' sports. Where Competition previously many schools have entered say, football and rugby players into dodgeball competitions, we aim to limit this so that other pupils may have the opportunity to represent their school at sport, rather than the most talented few monopolising the competition offer. The number of competitions has therefore not increased, but the new focus caters for an increase in the total of individual pupils that participate. The structure and format of these events may differ slightly with the potential introduction of alternative scoring and adapted rules implemented to assist with the provision of a more appropriate level of competition for the participants involved.

Sports / Events that have the potential for different pupils, outside of the above competition Engagement pathways to represent their school in an event that is first and foremost about taking part and Festival developing skills through sport.
