As the school sports day season approaches, clear communication and reliable sound systems become essential for keeping events running smoothly. At R & J PA Hire, we provide professional PA systems, commentary units, radio microphones and two-way radios for school sports days across East Yorkshire and Yorkshire.
Whether it’s a small primary school event or a large secondary school athletics day, we can supply a complete battery-powered sound system solution that works perfectly on school fields, playgrounds and outdoor sports areas — even where there is no mains power available.
Professional Sports Day PA Systems
A successful sports day depends on clear announcements, music and commentary that everyone can hear. Our outdoor PA systems are designed specifically for open spaces and large crowds, helping teachers, organisers, parents and pupils stay informed throughout the day.
We regularly provide:
- Battery-powered PA systems
- Commentary units
- Wireless radio microphones
- Handheld microphones
- Two-way radio hire
- Outdoor loudspeaker systems
- Commentary positions for announcers and presenters
Our systems are ideal for:
- Primary school sports days
- Secondary school athletics events
- School fun days
- Charity runs and colour runs
- Inter-school competitions
- Village sports events
Fully Battery Powered – No Mains Required
One of the biggest advantages of our school sports day systems is that they can operate entirely from their own battery power supplies.
This means:
- No long extension leads
- No noisy generators
- Safer outdoor setup
- Quick installation on school fields
- Reliable operation throughout the day
Our battery-powered systems are perfect for remote sports fields and temporary event locations where access to power may be limited.
Commentary Units for School Sports Days
Our professional commentary units provide a sheltered and organised area for staff or commentators to manage announcements, race information and music playback during the event.
The units can include:
- Radio microphone systems
- Music playback equipment
- Mixing desks
- Battery-powered operation
- Excellent visibility across sports fields
These units help create a more professional and enjoyable atmosphere while ensuring important announcements are heard clearly by competitors and spectators alike.
Radio Microphones & Two-Way Radios
Wireless radio microphones allow teachers and event organisers to move freely around the field while remaining clearly heard across the site.
We also provide two-way radios for:
- Event staff communication
- First aid coordination
- Field event organisation
- Parking and crowd management
Reliable communication is especially important during larger school and community events.
Safe, Reliable Sound for Busy School Fields
School sports days can be busy outdoor events, with pupils, parents, teachers and visitors spread across a large area. Having a clear PA system helps keep the day organised and makes it easier to share important information quickly.
Our systems can be used for race announcements, event results, background music, presentation moments, safety messages and general instructions throughout the day. This helps reduce confusion and ensures everyone knows where they need to be and what is happening next.
Because every school site is different, we can advise on the best speaker positions to give good coverage across the field without the system being too loud in one area. From a simple microphone and speaker setup to a larger commentary position with multiple loudspeakers, we can tailor the equipment to suit the size and layout of your event.
Ideal for Announcements, Music and Presentations
A good school sports day PA system is not just about making announcements louder — it helps create a better atmosphere for the whole event. Music can be played during breaks, races can be introduced clearly, and winners can be announced professionally during presentations.
Our wireless microphones allow staff and organisers to speak from different areas of the field without being tied to one fixed position. This is especially useful for starting races, calling pupils to events, making safety announcements or speaking during prize giving.
For larger events, a commentary unit can provide a central point for managing microphones, music and announcements. This gives the event a more organised feel and helps teachers or presenters control the day smoothly from one location.

Planning a Safe and Well-Organised School Sports Day
Alongside clear announcements and reliable sound, schools also need to consider safe event planning, pupil movement, site layout and communication across the day. Useful UK resources such as GOV.UK PE and sports in schools guidance, HSE event safety guidance and Sport England Active Lives research can help schools and organisers think about the wider planning of outdoor sports events.
At R & J PA Hire, our role is to support the communication side of the event with clear sound, reliable microphones and practical PA system layouts for school fields and outdoor spaces.
