A sports day certificate template gives a school, a summer camp or a youth club a ready page for the end of the event. Head teachers, PE leads and PTA volunteers hand them out in assembly or at the last race, usually to every child who took part, and sometimes to the winners of single events such as the relay or the egg and spoon race.

A good one thanks the child for taking part, lists the events they entered, and carries the date and a signature from the head teacher or the PE lead. The designs come as certificates (A4 and US Letter) and as badges. A field day award for kids can double as a certificate for sports day students. Print the certificate for the fridge or the bedroom wall, or send it by email so parents can keep and share it.
