In just over two weeks, the School Games National Finals 2024 will get underway at Loughborough University with an exciting field of talented young athletes competing for their regions.
The event officially begins on Thursday 29th August with an inspiring opening ceremony. The wheelchair basketball competition will be played in the 3×3 format Friday 30th to Sunday 1st September, played alongside the running game fixtures.
