Organizing a school sports day: Fun outings for young and old
Sports day should of course be the best day of the year! At Flitz-Events we understand this better than anyone and are happy to help you organize an outing that the students will talk about for a long time. Of course we can offer various activities per age group. Whether you have a sports day for primary school organizes a sports day specifically for the upper grades or puts together a unique day full of fun for the students at the secondary school.
We provide an unforgettable day full of activities, possible catering options and numerous opportunities to enjoy a day of relaxation. Both for the students and for the teachers.
1. Children's sports day
A sports day with children is slightly different from an outing with adults. Children often need a different energy and a different approach to fully enjoy the activities. At Flitz-Events we understand that and that is why we offer specially designed programs that perfectly match the energy and interests of children.
2. Organize sports day for primary & secondary school
Organizing a sports day is suitable for every school and class of children. This is because there is something nice for everyone. Every child likes to run and move all day long, and especially to get away from the usual routine at school. Moreover, the children are then on the move and therefore remain healthy and fit. So there are more than enough advantages to a sports day, but how do you organize this?
You don't have to worry about not knowing what to do while organizing a sports day. We take these concerns completely off your hands. Flitz Events is your partner in organizing the best sports day for your school (class). Everything is thought of, from various activities to arranging and handling. The only thing you need to take care of is that the children feel like exercising in a fun way.
3. Tailor-made sports day
Having a sports day organized by Flitz Events is never the same. There is a wide range of different types of sports, so you always have a nice varied offering and you can be sure that your students can do the sports they like. The work here mainly takes the form of a six-camp event, in which sports such as hockey, tennis and flag football are always discussed. This is often alternated with playing sports that you usually only see during sports days, such as sack races and tug-of-war. When you engage Flitz Events to organize your School outing, you can decide which sports you want to add to the offer and so you still have control in your own hands.
In addition to sports, there are also various games that can be added to the offer. For example, it is possible to hold a sports quiz and the children can have fun in one of the themed air cushions, each of which has its own extra applications. Finally, there are also specific options that you can introduce your students to, such as archery or jumping on a trampoline.
4. Suitable for all kinds of groups
When you think of a sports day, you quickly think of primary school activities, and in most cases that is true. The offer at Flitz Events is well focused on working with the youngest students, so there is something included for every age group. But did you also know that you can organize a school outing not only for the youngest students? At Flitz Events it is also possible to organize a School outing for secondary education and even for HBO students you can come here for a good School outing that suits the students perfectly. No childish games for teenagers, but suitable sports that match the interests and level of the students.

1. In a gymnasium
Sometimes it seems that once you get students out of their normal routine, anything can happen! That's why it's important to consider all things - or as much as you can! Let's take a look at the steps you can take to make sports day school a success.
Weather permitting….
Nice weather is far from guaranteed in the Netherlands, so planning events can be a bit of a gamble. Our first piece of advice for a school sports day is to always have an indoor plan. Either way, it's important to consider the weather when you first plan the day. With so many elements to take into account, it would be impractical to change the date at the last minute.
Benefits:
- Weather independent
- Safe and enclosed
- Equipped with sports materials
2. On a lawn
A lawn provides a natural, open space that is ideal for a wide range of activities. Football, Frisbee, cross-country running and traditional field games such as tug-of-war and sack racing do well on this surface.
Benefits:
- Large, open space
- Natural, soft surface
- Flexible to set up
3. On the beach
A sports day on the beach brings a unique, energetic atmosphere. Activities such as beach volleyball, sand castle building and even beach soccer are perfect for this location. The beach is particularly suitable for team building and recreational activities.
Benefits:
- Unique, relaxing environment
- Suitable for water-related activities
- Promotes creativity and relaxation
4. In the city
A sports day in the city can consist of urban adventures such as iPad tours such as escape the city. These types of activities are great for building a sense of community and exploring the city.

- Suitable for educational and discovery oriented of the city
SAFETY AND PREVENTION SCHOOL
Each school has meticulous 'in case of emergency' procedures. It is vital to adapt these health and safety measures to your ideas for a sports day school. This may include incorporating safe exercise into the rules of your planned activities.
In addition to the fact that your first aid box is suitable for the treatment of minor sports injuries, it is also very important to focus on prevention.
This is all the more reason to establish a single day and to plan in advance. It is vital that everyone knows in time which sports he or she will participate in to prepare; it may be necessary for students to bring extra equipment or medication and they need time to consult their parents. If students end a game prematurely, they can be bored and more difficult to entertain. This can therefore become a safety risk. To prevent this, you must ensure that you plan the minimum and maximum time that each activity can take.
A good way to keep a large number of students engaged is to divide the leeway into sections. This means that you can follow multiple activities without compromising the safety or quality of the game.
primary school sports day ideas
The classics of the sports day ideas include the three-legged race, sack race and the big old drag final, but that's not all! There are many activities suitable for primary school age students. For example:
- Obstacle courses
- Funnel races
- A hula hoop challenge
- A mini tennis tournament
- Junior athletics including obstacles and javelin throwing
