Havering didn't make the top 10 this week so we need to try a little harder to get some more challenges complete. Please share your challenge videos or comments on how you have been getting on! If you haven't started yet its not too late.

Today's challenge is a dribbling challenege and can be adapted so EVERYONE can have a go. The LYG Virtual Games are open to all children and young people from London, who will compete across the twelve different challenges to earn points for their Boroughs. You do not need to be a footballer to complete the football challenge or a netballer to complete the netball challenge. All the challenges will come with suggested adaptations for space, equipment and ability to ensure they are as inclusive as possible. A leaderboard with the latest Borough standings will be updated every week, and after the final challenge, the winning Borough will be crowned the first ever LYG Virtual Games champions. Come on you Havering Hurricanes!!!

Individual prizes are also up for grabs. Parents are encouraged to share videos of their challenge attempts on social media using the hashtag #ThisIsLYG to be in with a chance of winning the weekly MVP (Most Valuable Player) award, the lucky winner will receive a pair of Nike trainers. It would be great to see the #OurClockhouseFamily hashtag too! It would be great to see some of your attempts on the school social media pages & also on the London Youth Games social media platforms.

The Challenge Video for today has been released on the London Youth Games website here is the link https://youtu.be/GiuFtevM5Hw
