LATE NIGHT HOOPS – TOWNSVILLE
It uses sports as a tool to engage at-risk youth, aged 12-18, in a positive way, helping them develop essential life skills and addressing crime and anti-social behavior, which benefits the broader community.
In collaboration with the Queensland Government, Townsville Basketball offers socially inclusive opportunities for these youths to participate in community sports, health and wellness activities, and mentorship programs.
The project also creates a platform for community organizations, service providers, local police, and the Department of Youth Justice to collaborate, offering services and identifying the needs of marginalized youth who are, or are at risk of becoming, involved in the criminal justice system.
LATE NIGHT HOOPS sessions run from 9 PM to midnight, with registration starting at 8:30 PM at the Townsville Basketball Stadium. The program is open to all, offering a safe and supervised space to play basketball, enjoy music, have a meal, and catch up with friends.
