Following a successful tender process, the COBIS Games are due to be hosted in the UK for 2017 and 2018. Having exchanged letters of intent with Stowe School, Buckingham for the Primary Games and Sheffield City Council for the Secondary Games, we are excited to work with these two organisations to plan, develop and professionalise the COBIS Games. We are confident that both hosts will deliver fantastic events, aligned with British National Governing Body standards for swimming, athletics and football.
We are currently in the process of preparing contracts and will be able to provide full information on the Games, and how to register your interest in participating, in early September. However, provisional dates have been agreed as:
- The COBIS Primary Games are planned to take place at Stowe School in Buckingham 11-13 April 2017
- The COBIS Secondary Games are planned to take place in Sheffield city 19-21 May 2017.
The 2017 Primary Games are open to students in Years 5 and 6 who were born between 1 September 2005 and 31 August 2007 and the 2017 Secondary Games are open to students in Years 7 and 8 who were born between 1 September 2003 and 31 August 2005.
