It\u2019s a community, full of good people ready to make some awesome memories with you. Across the SYG weekend you\u2019ll have opportunities to meet other young people from across Victoria and play a range of sports suitable for beginners and experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some common sports you\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sports are divided into grades based on age, gender, and skill level, so you can always find a competition suited to you, whether you\u2019re there to go hard, or just play casual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Register<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t attend SYG by yourself, you need to be part of a group.
