Children and young people and the Olympics Games

Any school or college in the UK can become a member of the Get Set network.

Young people aged 3 to 19 can discover more about sport, explore the history of the Games and other cultures, or 'pitch' to host a Pre-Games Training Camp as they learn about:

  • Olympic Values – friendship, excellence and respect
  • Paralympic Values – inspiration, determination, courage and equality.

Get Set website

Visit the official Get Set website for free resources, interactive games and films, and meet talented young athletes, including Tom Daley, Shanaze Reade, Xavier Mohammed and Shelly Woods.
