Aberdeen Youth Games has launched ahead of the Commonwealth Games.

Every primary school will take part in sports sessions over the next two months, leading up to a final festival.

At the launch event on Tuesday, 200 pupils from Kaimhill Primary took part in a morning of coaching delivered by Robert Gordon University students.

More than 1500 pupils will take part in the final festival of sport at Aberdeen Sports Village, competing in a number of different skills-based sporting activities.

Lecturer in sport and exercise science at RGU, Bryan McCann, said: "While school children from across the city are experiencing the real benefits that sport can bring, our students have the unique and exciting prospect of gaining employment following their module.

"The Aberdeen Youth Games launched as a Legacy 2014 funded event and we're looking forward to this year's event coming close after the Commonwealth Games for a great spring of sport, both locally and internationally."
