Zambia competed in the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games held in the British Crown Dependency of Isle of Man from 7 to 13 September 2011.

National Olympic Committee of Zambia sent a delegation of eight people included six competitors – all men – and two officials.

The Zambian delegation was economically supported by the Commonwealth Games Federation.

It consisted five competitors, including two pugilists (Obed Mutapa and Charles Lumbwe), two swimmers (Chishala Mukuka and Ralph Goveia) middle distance runner Harry Mulenga and Chongo Mulenga, who participated in badminton.

As you know the Commonwealth has started a development programme equivalent to the junior Olympics.
