| What is State Youth Games all about |
| State Youth Games is a long weekend of sporting competition between Church Youth based teams. There will be about 700 people attending, playing hundreds of games throughout the long weekend. You could play up to 24 games of sport and maybe do a fun run as well. The standard of competition varies from those who have competed at fairly high levels to those who are still learning to play the games. All are welcome and encouraged to enjoy themselves to the fullest. |

| Competition |
| The sports are played in a round-robin competition before a series of finals. You can play Open sport in A or B grade or compete in the under 18s. As well as winning trophies for each sport, you will compete for either the small, medium, or large Team Champions Trophy, depending on your team size. What SYG values most, though, is not the best athletes, but the attitude of competitors. The “Fair Play” and “Team Spirit” trophies reward teams for maintaining the positive environment that State Youth Games is built on. |

Please take the time to check out the maps and locations of our new venues as the sports will be spread out over three sports centres; Watson Park (where State Youth Games is based), Caboolture Indoor SportsCentre and Caboolture State High School. It is approximately 15 minutes drive from Watson Park to either Caboolture Indoor Sports Centre or Caboolture State High School. |
