What You Can Expect

SYG is more than a sport carnival or music festival. It’s a community, full of good people ready to make some awesome memories with you. Across the SYG weekend you’ll have opportunities to meet other young people from across Victoria and play a range of sports suitable for beginners and experts.

There are some common sports you’ll know, like AFL football, basketball, netball, and soccer. And there are less common sports like bocce, European handball, and even some indoor sports like UNO and eSports.

Sports are divided into grades based on age, gender, and skill level, so you can always find a competition suited to you, whether you’re there to go hard, or just play casual.

You’ll camp on-site with your group and experience the whole event with them. Bring some warm clothes, because it gets cold, and huddle around the fire pit. And explore the event grounds to meet other young people from other groups and hang out in the SYG Village every evening.

Join in with high energy Christian music each evening and hear from our guest speaker. Explore faith at your own pace in the company of your trusted friends. Everyone is welcome at SYG, whatever your journey.
