The Guardian and
Football School are inviting 7- to 12-year-olds in the
UK and
Ireland to see if they can pen the piece that comes top
The Guardian and the book series Football School are launching our third Young Sportswriter of the Year competition, open to all seven- to 12-year-olds in the UK and Ireland. Last year saw an incredible richness and energy in the students’ entries with the two winners producing outstanding pieces, nine-year-old Rebecca Close winning one age category by writing about Jack Leach’s glasses, while Eleanor Walsh, 11, finished top among the older students with an article focusing on the
British triathlete Vicky Holland.
