Around 1,000 children taking part
It's about cultivating healthy lifestyles and engaing children in sports - that from the Education and Children Minister on today's annual Manx Youth Games.
Graham Cregeen is there to support students in school years 2-10, representing all five regions at the National Sports Centre - in the Island's biggest multi-sport event.
Teen Ben Grainger was encouraged to go pro after taking part - he's last year's 'Disability Sports Person of the Year' after winning a place in the British Para-Swimming Academy, with hopes he'll compete at Tokyo 2020.
Around 1,000 children are participating - Mr Cregeen says it's an inspiration:
Government 'neglecting' heritage assets across the Island
Motiv8: 'We will never reach all the children on the Isle of Man'
House of Keys question paper dominated by one MHK
Onchan Commissioners to undertake 'accessibility' review of park equipment
Efforts to push more services online causing frustration in community
