Who runs SYG?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

State Youth Games Victoria is run by Churches of Christ Vic\/Tas and Foundations, their generational ministry arm. The planning and implementation of the event is overseen by a volunteer Committee.

Can I attend on my own?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sorry, no. All attendees at SYG must be part of a group. If you don\u2019t have a group already, SYG might be able to connect you with one. Contact us to start a conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What ages can attend?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All ages are welcome to join in at SYG and experience the camping, community, and music in the evenings. But sports are restricted to people in Year 7 (or equivalent) to 29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every person at SYG who is aged 18 or older is required to hold a valid Victorian Working With Children Check as a condition of entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I visit, but not play?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, but you will still need to register. SYG is a ticketed event and any participant, visitor, or helper without a ticket will be turned away from the event.<\/strong>
Contact your Group Coorindator to arrange a Day Ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do I need a Working With Children Check?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Due to the unique nature of SYG we make a valid Victorian Working With Children Check a condition of entry for all people aged 18 or over, regardless of their responsibilities or other employment. A volunteer WWCC is free to obtain and helps provide a safe environment for young people while they camp, play sport, and explore faith together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some professionals, such as registered teachers and police officers, are often exempt from WWCC requirements, but at SYG we require teachers and police officers (and other exempt professionals) to hold a WWCC<\/strong>. WWCCs give a greater level of transparency for local church groups and SYG than VIT registrations and police badges, and come with no additional cost to teachers or police officers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
