She will watch the youngsters taking part in a number of activities, including wheelchair basketball, CP football, volleyball, fencing and badminton.
The diligent Duchess will then join athletes and their parents as they attend educational workshops about media and social media training, nutrition in sport and general guidance. The 31-year-old will also meet Olympic rower Katherine Grainger, Paralympic basketball star Ade Adepitan and swimmer Karen Pickering, all of whom have been supported by the organisation.
The sporty royal became a figurehead for the youth sports charity in April this year in a move that reflected her enthusiasm for "supporting children and young people to build their skills, confidence and aspirations". Kate's charity visit to the Olympic Park will no doubt bring back memories of the summer of 2012. The former school hockey team captain paid a visit to the east London venue and was seen showcasing her stick skills with Great Britain's Olympic team.
