The Olympic Games are on this summer in Paris, but this doesn't mean you can't enjoy competitive team sports at home.

This June, Macclesfield Leisure Centre providers Everybody Health & Leisure are marking a decade in operation with a decathlon of sports for the community to compete in.

Everybody are calling inclusive groups, schools, businesses and community groups across Cheshire East to take part in the Everybody Games.

The Everybody Games is a three-day extravaganza to celebrate Everybody Health & Leisure's 10th birthday as a leisure trust.

Macclesfield Leisure Centre is ran by Everybody Health and Leisure.

Packed with exciting challenges designed to test both your mind and body, the games promises to be an unforgettable experience filled with camaraderie, laughter and healthy competition.

The Everybody Games is based around a team of 8 people (you can enter with less but some team members will have to go twice).

Lee Malkin, Sports Development Manager at Everybody Health & Leisure shares: "We are excited to bring teams together from across Cheshire East to celebrate 10 years of Everybody Health & Leisure and compete in some fun challenges."

"We've planned ten activity stations that teams will have to complete, with the aim to get the highest score in order to be crowned the Everybody Games Champions 2024."
