It is hoped that more than 1,400 extra volunteers and coaches will be recruited and trained to help deliver the School Games after funding was extended for a further year. The £490,000. Volunteers and Coaches Fund aims to increase the quantity and quality of the volunteers who support the national School Games competition. More than half of primary and secondary schools took part in the School Games in 2012 and this new funding is to be distributed through Sport England to county sports partnerships, with each receiving £10,000 to recruit, train and deploy 20 volunteer leaders and coaches to support the games – a total of 1,470 across the country. The majority of these volunteers will be young people between the ages of 16 and 25.
