The launch for the eighth H.S.B.C. Manx Youth Games took place at the National Sports Centre last night.
In the previous seven years, ten thousand children have taken part in the scheme.
Between now and May, youngsters will have the opportunity to get involved in eleven sports.
Badminton co-ordinator Roberta Cannell says the project is essential for introducing new players to the sport:-
