Twilight Sports
Twilight Sports is a friendly, free program created to get teens moving, socialising and building confidence in a safe, supervised environment. It is perfect for parents looking for an after-school activity that blends physical activity, life skills and community connection.
The program welcomes young people aged 12-17 and runs across school terms with different sports each term. Parents will appreciate the focus on inclusion, sportsmanship and peer support while kids enjoy games designed for all skill levels.
This listing covers the season of Twilight Sports at Georges Hall, with regular sessions on Fridays and Saturdays through the school year. Registration opens one month prior to each term start, so it pays to plan ahead.
What to Expect
Expect a relaxed but structured environment where participation and fun are prioritised over competition. Coaches and volunteers focus on positive role modelling and building interpersonal skills through sport.
Sessions include team-based activities, opportunities to learn new skills and practical life-skill workshops. Typical benefits include improved fitness, social connection, and boosted self-esteem for teens navigating adolescence.
Families can also expect practical supports aimed at making attendance easier: healthy dinner provided, uniforms supplied when needed and transport available from local collection points within the LGA.
Activity Details
Twilight Sports rotates through different sports each term to keep things fresh and engaging for young participants. Recent term sports include Oztag, Mixed Netball, Basketball and Volleyball, scheduled on Fridays or Saturdays depending on the term.
Program features commonly include:
- Dinner provided each night
- Uniform allocation for players
- Transport to and from selected pick-up points for residents within the LGA
The program also offers volunteering roles for community members, from team manager and general assistant to workshop support and bus assistant, with a Working with Children clearance required for volunteers.
Location and Access
Most sessions are held at The Crest, Field 4, Carysfield Road, Georges Hall 2198, a convenient venue with local parking and accessible facilities. The venue is presented as family-friendly and suitable for teens.
Transport is provided from key pick-up points such as Belmore Youth Resource Centre and Paul Keating Park Bankstown to the venue, returning participants home at the end of the night if they live within the local government area.
Parents should check the event page or registration information for exact pick-up locations and accessibility details, and allow time for drop-off or pick-up when planning their evening routine.
Important Information
Eligibility is aimed at young people aged 12-17 and the program is free to attend. Registrations open roughly one month before the start of each term, and spots can fill quickly for popular sports like basketball and netball.
Volunteers are vital to the program and positions are available; community members with or without experience are encouraged to get involved, though a Working with Children clearance is essential for certain roles.
For enquiries families can call the council number listed on the events page or check the Twilight Sports event page for the latest details on registration, dates and transport. Keep an eye on term dates to ensure timely registration.
Booking and Prices
The Twilight Sports program is free to participants, removing a common barrier for families wanting extracurricular activities for teens. No hidden fees are associated with the standard program.
Bookings are required and registrations open approximately one month before each term start. Parents should register their child via the event registration link on the council site or contact the youth centre for assistance.
Spaces are limited each term to ensure quality supervision and safe ratios, so early registration is advised. Volunteers can register separately if they wish to support the program and gain experience working with young people.
