1300 children will compete in the competition which will feature 8 sports at 5 venues around the city from 23rd to 26th August.

Athletics will take place at University of Warwick, with badminton and swimming at Coventry Leisure Centre. Fencing and table tennis will be held at the Ricoh Arena, gymnastics at the Sky Dome and judo and volleyball at the Alan Higgs Centre. Disability events in athletics and swimming will also be included.

The UK School Games is for the best youngsters of school age who will be selected to compete by their sport's governing body. It is not a school versus school competition.

£2.3 million in National Lottery funding has been awarded to the Youth Sport Trust through the Big Lottery Fund, to develop the UK School Games until 2011 and for the 2007 Games in Coventry. Visa is the presenting sponsor of the 2007 Games which are also being supported by Coventry City Council.

England Commonwealth Games table tennis team member Kelly Sibley won both individual and team gold medals at the inaugural UK School Games in Glasgow last September.

The 18 year-old from Leamington Spa said: "The UK School Games is a fantastic event and I really enjoyed competing in Glasgow last year. It's good to have such a top class multi-sport competition for young people in this country and I'm sure the 2007 Games in Coventry will be a real spectacle.

"The UK School Games is a great event for both competitors and spectators and I would encourage people to come along and support it."

Tickets for the UK School Games are available via telephone on 0871 230 1080 or from the tickets page.
