Sports Slay? Or Sports Nay?

Our Kids are here to show you how Gen Z does Sports Day. Think laughing at year 11s headbutting hurdles, cringing for your mates, and nailing the high jump.

It’s a madness that Sports Day is still even a thing

It’s 2025. People have got 24/7 socials. Imagine going viral because you lashed an egg at someone you don’t like from the bottom set of Maths?

“Maybe you’re thinking you’ve got what it takes to become a legend. Think again because you can go from hero to zero, big time fast.”

Or getting rinsed because you got beasted by some bearded lad who did his GCSEs about 17 years ago but hasn’t left school in a tug of war?

You don’t come back from that. No, Sports Day is pure cringe.

Even if you get stuck in, yeah, your rep can be mudded in seconds.

You might think you’ve been smart and gamed it by saying you’ll do the high jump because let’s face it right who does that and what even is it but we digress. This could happen to you.

@houseofhighlights I’m never doing the high jump again 💀💀 (via richmond_ca_turn_up/IG) #track #field #jump #failed ♬ original sound – House of Highlights

So swerve it

Or maybe you’re thinking you’ve got what it takes to become a legend. Think again because you can go from hero to zero, big time fast. We love you Spencer.

Anyway, it’s not about taking part

It’s about the content. And no one is making winning reels from the sack race. Not when there’s this type of stuff out there. Now we’re talking.

So on that one, maybe it’s time to make Sports Day into something relatable, you know? What would you vote for if we were gonna shake up the Sports Day establishment?

Alternative sports days for 2025? How about 1. Date App Swipe Challenge? 2. Parental Wrestling? 3. Staring into Space with no phone, no music, no NOTHING!

Got any other ideas? Because we’d love to hear them, because those ones are rubbish.

The best of the bunch gets pole vaulted onto our socials, and you might end up with a free holiday on your hands.

Not bad, right? Yes that’s right, a £1500 holiday voucher. Imagine how quickly you could spend all that at the Duty Free? Here’s how.
