About us

What is Gippsport Streetgames?

GippSport Streetgames provides affordable, accessible sport and recreation activities to teens and young adults 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.

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.

Hi Everyone, I’m Sascha. I am honored to be working with the Streetgames Crew. After relocating to Gippsland in April 2020, I have had the pleasure of experiencing the wonderfully diverse and welcoming community that is Gippsland. During this time, I have developed a genuine passion for Streetgames and what Streetgames represent for the community. I have over four years of experience working within diverse communities. I pride myself on achieving community and team goals and treating all people with dignity, equity, and respect. Please come and say “Hi” at our next event.

My name is Yvonne and I am the Program Coordinator overseeing all the awesome work we are doing in East Gippsland. I have an extensive coaching resume in my favourite sport netball, having one of the highest netball coaching accreditations in the state!
I have really enjoyed settling into life in East Gippsland and getting to know the sporting clubs, organisations and communities.
If you have any ideas of how Streetgames should look in your town, or if you're keen to work with us as a paid coach, please reach out to me!
