Looking for boys party organizer

[Fangtiger]

I'm trying to organize my 8 year old boy's birthday party. He'd like a traditional party with mainly running around games like bulldog, duck duck goose, dodge ball etc. Does anyone know where I can find a couple of lively young men to organize the games, fool around and be silly with the kids - who do this professionally?! No clowns or magicians wanted. We live in Sussex near Brighton.

Not sure about professionally, but why don't you ask your local sixth form college/higher education college/university for students doing childcare or primary school teaching? If they're doing a degree involving childcare I imagine they have to have practical experience anyway?

or you could ask your local scouts if they have a couple of teenagers who want to help, these are all games they play.

Are you wanting to have it at home? If not then parties I've been to at sports centres are often a bit like this.

Thanks for the helpful suggestions - the scouts and teacher traininers are a good idea. I've already tried the local sports centre and unfortunately it doesn't offer this type of party.
