Participants selected to represent Team Epsom & Ewell at the Specsavers Surrey Youth Games finals weekend on Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 June at Surrey Sports Park in Guildford, will compete with teams from ten other Surrey boroughs and districts. Team Epsom & Ewell will once again be sponsored by Better.  

Last year 168 young people represented the borough at the Games. The free training sessions led by local sports clubs in the borough, offer participants a chance to play their chosen sport after the Games have finished. 

Councillor Barry Nash, Chairman of the Council's Community and Wellbeing Committee said, “We hope many of the borough's young people will sign up for a chance to be part of this Olympic style event. Team Epsom & Ewell needs you!

“Don't miss this opportunity to try a new sport, take part in free coaching sessions, make new friends and experience competition in a fun and supportive environment."
