What's it's purpose?
State Youth Games aims to bring young people together in a community of fun and involvement where they can enjoy sporting pursuits in a Christian context. State Youth Games assists the local church youth groups to reach out to young people in their communities and involve them in an activity which is non-threatening, fun, relevant, energetic and challenging.

Where and when is it held?
State Youth Games is held each year over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend in the Warragul district, about an hour east of Melbourne (Australia). The base camp is located at Lardner Park and activities take place in Warragul, Drouin, Neerim South and Lardner Park.

Who can go?
State Youth Games is open to anyone in year 7 or above. The upper age limit for individual sports is 30, but youth leaders over 30 may participate in any of the team sports with their young people. People of any age may attend the weekend and enjoy the exciting atmosphere of the event. Aside from the fun of cheering for your team, there are many opportunities to assist by umpiring, scoring, setting up, participating in things like the disco, worship, coffee lounge, or doing other organisational tasks. Although State Youth Games is organised by Churches of Christ, youth groups from other denominations are more than welcome to participate in the weekend.
