5. feeling sporty?


Fancy running around a field chasing a ball for a few afternoons? We figured we’d best put some shorts and suitable footwear on and offer you some kind of physical activity. Step up to win the accolades the likes of the England footie, cricket and rugby teams can only dream of…


ball games

Basketball: Yo player! Think you’ve got skills? Prove it homes. 3 vs. 3 basketball, straight out of the urban courts of New York. Gritty. For real son.
Volleyball: Originating as a version of tennis for really small people volleyball is now a sport in its own right. See if you can spike or dig like a pro. Extra awards for the loudest grunters.


weird games

Ultimate Frisbee: Invented by aliens who liked sports… no-one actually knows how to play the game properly as all the instructions are written in the colloquial Martian tongue.
It's a knockout: Get together with other campers and enter into a good old Butlins-esque fun day, featuring a bean bag relay, egg and spoon races and even a tug ‘o’ war!


footie!

Five a side: There are no jumpers for goal posts or rush goalies here, plus you only need five players! Straight up Match of the Day action, complete with half time punditry!
Pain Au Chocolat tournament: Panna cage football with a twist. The winner gets the rights to a packet of Pain Au Chocolat. Fast paced, energetic and tasty…


momentum sports personality of the year!

A new addition to the Momentum sports programme. As with the BBC’s variety, you don’t have to be a great sportsman to win, you just have to stand out as a character that has had a good laugh and played fair during one or more of the sporting activities. You might get a little medal (if you're lucky and the team remember), but you will get a whole of respect!


the fun run!

Dress up like Moses, Spiderman, those 118 brothers or just come as yourself and sprint, jog, walk or crawl around the showground in our fifth annual Soul Action Fun Run. It's ok, it's only a few miles so you won't get too worn out! And remember, it’s a sponsored run, so get people to support you… all the proceeds go to Soul Action.


the sports cafe!

Sit back with a Lucozade (or some other isotonic drink that is in balance with your body fluids) and check out all the energetic stuff whirling about around you! No panic necessary, you won't need to actually partake in any of the action, this is sport for the arm chair enthusiast, so just chill with some nice chocolate cake, a can of fizzy pop and let the fitness come to you!
