midnight basketball Darwin is back!
THE CITY OF DARWIN AND THE DARWIN MIDNIGHT BASKETBALL COMMITTEE ARE WRAPPED TO open registrations for tournament 2 DARWIN commencing Saturday 16 April, 2016
Midnight Basketball is a youth social inclusion program using basketball as a youth engagement tool to engage up to 60 local at risk youth aged 12-18, during peak times where there is minimal support services available.
Friday and Saturday nights are the highest risk period of the week for teenagers, a time when most other services and activities are not available. Midnight Basketball is a fun yet disciplined program combining sport and education to fill this gap.
TOURNAMENT 2
Darwin Midnight Basketball Tournament 2 will be kicking off on Saturday 16 April from 7.00pm -11.30pm, and running for 8 weeks at Darwin Basketball Stadium.
