be launched successively. during the coming period.
School games include two types of programmes, a competitive program and a training

programme. The competitive program is divided into 3 levels for age groups ranging
from 15 to 17 years. The first level competitions will start in the coming weeks through
competitions that will be held within each school, so that the best of them qualify for the

second level, which includes competing schools in each region (Abu Dhabi, Dubai,
Sharjah, Northern Emirates) at the beginning of next May. The competition then

reaches the third level, known as the Nation Finals, in which all national champions will
be crowned, in mid-May.
As for the training program, it targets the age groups from 9 to 14 years old, through the

opening of training centers across the Emirates covering all eight sports. The centers
will provide students with the opportunity to train and practice any of the eight sports.

The training centers will gradually open their doors, starting from the 15th of February,
provided that students are registered through an electronic registration platform.

The school games will have a significant impact on promoting the practice of sports
among students, as well as developing the next generation of elite athletes to

participate in international competitions, promoting health and well-being, and
identifying talents to build on the next generation of elite athletes.
