London Youth Games 2008

The London Youth Games gives young people in Lambeth the chance to try out for a place in a team. Over 30 sports which range from archery to weight lifting are represented. The participants will experience a high standard of quality sports competitions while proudly representing their borough. Past competitors include Linford Christie and Brixton Basket Ball Clubs very own Leoul Deng (now NBA Chicago Bulls superstar).
