LITTLE LEAGUES
Create your own free school orienteering league
Bring schools together through fun, inclusive competition with a Little League created for your local network.
Choose your challenge and competition dates, invite your schools and watch the results build through live leaderboards — with everything managed through The Outdoor Classroom.
- Free for organisers and schools
- Simple to set up and manage
- Live leaderboards and participation data
- Designed so every school can compete
Fun, inclusive competition without the cost and logistics of travelling to an event.
A competition designed for every school
Little Leagues make inter-school competition simple, inclusive and measurable. Schools compete through activities completed in their own grounds, so more pupils can take part without the cost and logistics of travelling to an event.
Inclusive competition
Challenges reward participation and engagement, giving schools of different sizes the opportunity to compete.
More pupils involved
Instead of selecting a small team, schools can involve whole classes, year groups or their wider school community.
Easy to measure
Follow participation and performance through live leaderboards and competition data.
