Can you believe it's already been two weeks since SYG 2026?

The weather certainly tried its best to make things interesting. There was plenty of rain, a whole lot of wind, and more than a few moments where we were checking forecasts and crossing our fingers. But while the weather was wild, it wasn't enough to completely stop us.

Over the course of the weekend, more than a thousand young people came together to compete, connect, worship, laugh, serve, and create memories that will last far longer than a long weekend.

As we look back, we're excited to share the official SYG 2026 highlight video. From epic sporting moments and late-night team adventures to new friendships and meaningful conversations, this video captures just a glimpse of what made the weekend so special. Thanks so much to Aaron Kamp from Small Voice Films for putting this together for us.

SYG has always been about more than sport. It's about community, faith, encouragement, and being reminded that we're part of something bigger than ourselves.

So grab your teammates, tag your friends, and enjoy reliving an unforgettable weekend.

After what was a weird, wild, and unforgettable weekend, SYG 2026 will definitely be one for the memories.

A huge thank you to all our Church Coordinators for the countless hours spent building teams, organising registrations, and caring for people. Thank you to our volunteers who served so sacrificially throughout the weekend, often behind the scenes, and thank you to every participant who showed up, got involved, and made the event what it is. You are the reason we do this.

Despite the weather doing its best to keep us on our toes, the spirit of SYG was on full display. There was competition, community, laughter, resilience, and plenty of stories that will be retold for years to come.

This year also brought a little déjà vu. North Coast have once again taken out the Overall Championship, making it an incredible five consecutive overall titles. At this point, we might have to start talking about a dynasty!

Meanwhile, Hills have once again claimed the Compassion Cup. This is a separate competion from the overall comp. It is based on how many points you score per person you bring down. So, well done Hills for taking out this again.

Congratulations to both teams, and thank you to every church, volunteer, participant, venue, sponsor, and supporter who helped make SYG 2026 possible.

Remember we are in this thing for The Long Game. See you all in 2027.
