SPORTS DAY
About the Sports Day
On 5 January 2019, Sports Day was held for the first time in Forum Expo. It was an instant success! 29 committed and talented sports teams lined up to show the citizens of Stavanger and the surrounding area the fantastic sports diversity that can be found in our city. We were somewhat worried about how many people would actually come, but with approximately 3,000 children, young people and adults visiting, we found that this was an immediate hit. All sports teams had their own designated area where an activity was set up where anyone who wanted to could try. The sports teams provided the necessary equipment and many good coaches.
The immediate success we experienced by organizing the Sports Day in 2019 told us that “we must repeat this!”. And so it was; on 11 January 2020, Sports Day was held for the second year in a row. This time in Stavanger Sports Hall. The number of sports teams that participated with their activities increased, now with a total of 35 in number. The number of visitors also increased, thus even more children, young people and adults came to see and try the many sports that can be found in the city.
The Sports Council has now organized Sports Day 4 times in the last 5 years (2021 was canceled due to the pandemic). So it has become a tradition, right?
The Sports Council thanks all the sports teams who have contributed to creating such a fantastic activity fair! The Sports Day has proven to be a useful event, in which there is great interest. The sports teams can show off their sports and children and young people can – completely free – try all the exciting sports that can be found in Stavanger.
The sports teams on Sports Day were given a very good forum to promote both themselves and their own sports. The audience was given the opportunity to try several different sports in order to gain a better understanding of which areas they have a greater interest in. This became a particularly great opportunity for children and young people to find a sport they want to try more of. After the Sports Day 2019, several sports teams reported increased interest and more active members to their sports as a result of the event.
