Welcome Speech (For Schools / Educational Institutions)

Hello and warm good morning to all! Today, the sun is bright, the sky is clear and the
breeze is blowing gently. I believe we truly hit the jackpot by selecting this date and venue
to host our sports day. On this pleasant day, I, [name], your host for the event, warmly
welcome you all to the sports day of [school/institute name].

I would request our respected guardians to kindly take the seats on the left of the activity
area. I would also request the students to take the seats on the right of the activity area.
Dear volunteers, kindly assist everyone in finding their seats and getting settled. Thank
you. 

Now, I would like to invite our respected principal sir/ma'am and our dear teachers to
come to the front and take their seats. We will soon commence the event. Thank you. 

Welcome Speech (For Local Clubs / Non-Educational Institutions)

1/5
People often tend to overlook the importance of sports and games in daily life. Taking part
in sports not only keeps one healthy and fit, but it also helps one learn several lessons of
life such as discipline, responsibility and teamwork.

Today, we are here to witness the 25th annual sports day of [club name]. 25 years ago,
the founder of our club, Mr [name], started this yearly tradition to motivate young and old
to take a break from their busy lifestyles and spend some time playing sports. Today, we
don't have our beloved founder among us, but his blessings are always with us. And with
the belief that he is still here watching over us and this event, I, [name], welcome you all
to [club name]'s 25th sports day event.

please come up on the stage and address the amazing audience. Thank you, sir/ma'am.

Sports Day Events (For Educational as Well as Non-Educational

Running is an excellent activity. It not only keeps us fit but also strengthens our bones,
builds muscles and improves the functioning of our cardiovascular system. Our first event
is a 200 m flat race (boys) for [classes x and y OR age group x to y]. I would request the
participants to kindly take their positions at the starting point and cooperate with the staff
on the ground. Thank you.

nursery and kindergarten OR up to 5 years). I request the volunteers to kindly guide the

Wow! That was fun, wasn't it? Did you get a chocolate, little one? Yay, everyone got
chocolates! We will be awarding all the kids who took part in this race. So, please stay
with us until the end. Thank you. Dear volunteers, kindly guide the children back to their

And with that, the sports part of the event today has finally reached its conclusion. I want
to thank each and every one of you for participating in the games and giving your best.
You all did well and I wish you all the best. As is the rule, we could only choose one
winner per game. But irrespective of whether your name is on this list or not, I want you to
