GippSport Streetgames aims to provide a massive range of social and modified sports at the right time, right place, and in the right style for many of these young adults across Gippsland, so they can get active and connected.
Streetgames are a series of supervised activities and games for youth and young adults running across Gippsland.
Delivered by GippSport, the Streetgames program responds to research which shows a big drop-off in sports participation at around the age of 14, which endures into adulthood for many people. This drop is even larger for women, gender diverse individuals, and those experiencing barriers such as injury, illness, disability, or financial strains.

Streetgames are a series of supervised activities and games for teenagers and young adults that will be running across Gippsland. We engage in fun, informal sports such as skateboarding, dodgeball and 3×3 basketball to encourage more physical activity and social engagement in young people and will be popping up in a town near you soon.
Our games are generally pretty short and sweet (2-15 minutes each depending on game type), we usually have one main game happening, but we also have heaps of smaller sidegames such as spikeball and badminton if you’re not much of a people-person, or you’re still getting comfortable with the group.
Our fully VSA (Victorian Skateboarding Association) qualified skate and scoot coaches will be delivering private and small-group skateboard & scooter lessons, adjusted to suit your skill level.
Skate and Scootering involve the art of trying to balance, ride, and land tricks on a skateboard or scooter. It’s often done freestyle, but lots of people compete across Australia and the world.
