ASEAN School Games

ASEAN School Games (ASG) (also known as the Youth SEA Games) is an annual games for secondary schools student athletes in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and organised under the authority of the ASEAN Schools Sports Council (ASSC). The ASSC is an apolitical regional sports council that promotes sports among member countries. Prior to 2009, the games were played based on satellite, single sports events. This was changed in 2009, where a games format was implemented. The 1st ASG planned under the new games format was hosted by Thailand in 2009, while the 2nd, 3rd and 4th ASG were hosted by Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, respectively.^[1][2][3]

First event	2009 Suphanburi, Thailand

Last event	2019 Semarang, Indonesia

The inception of the games format was the outcome of a meeting hosted by Thailand in Chiang Mai in 2008. The planning meeting was jointly led by a ministry official from Singapore (Co-Curricular Activities Branch, Mr Timothy D’Cruz) and Thailand (Department of Physical Education, Dr Patanachart Kridiborworn). Singapore was then at the helm of the ASSC Technical Committee. This milestone planning meeting was responsible for setting the foundation of the guiding principles and direction of the approach that resulted in the birth of the first and subsequent ASGs.

Objectives

• To promote ASEAN Solidarity in our youth through school sports;
• To provide opportunities for school athletes to benchmark their sporting talents in the ASEAN region; and
• To provide opportunities for school athletes to interact and engage in cultural exchange within ASEAN.
