The Medway Games series is one of the most extensive school and community sporting programmes anywhere in the country, involving thousands of people in sport each year.

The Games are run by Medway Council's Sports Development Team and supported by local sports clubs, the Howard and Greenacre School Sports Partnerships and national governing bodies of sport.

The series is made up of several elements, including:

Mini Youth Games

This multi-sport programme of events runs throughout the school year. It is made up of 10 different sports events and is open to children in Years 5 and 6 from all Medway Primary Schools.

The 2009/10 competition involved thousands of children from more than 60 different schools in a series of nine sporting competitions.

Medway Secondary School Games

This multi-sport programme of events runs throughout the school year. The series is of sporting events open to all pupils in Medway Secondary Schools.

Medway Disability Youth Games

This multi-sport programme of events takes place in two stages. The first is the Winter Games, which involves a free 10-week coaching programme, followed by a fun and friendly competition. This is followed by the Summer Games, which includes a free coaching programme in four different sports, again followed by a fun and friendly competition. These games are open to all Medway special schools and units.
