Young people in Guernsey can try one of 20 different sports as part of this year's Specsavers Youth Games. All year five and six pupils are being encouraged to sign up to represent their district in the biennial event, organised by the Guernsey Sports Commission.

Organisers say the day, set for 22 May, will be bigger and better than ever before.

With the postponement of the 2021 Island Games, Specsavers co-founder Dame Mary Perkins says she hopes this will continue to inspire a new generation of athletes.

Since the first Games in 2005, nearly 4,000 children have taken part.
