The first competition was staged earlier this year and was considered a huge success.

Midnight Basketball is open to all 12 to 18-year-olds, with teams playing at least three games every Friday between 7.30pm and 11.30pm before they are bused home.

Players are provided a meal before the first match and are also required to attend life skills workshops, which are staged every competition night.

Players and volunteers interested in participating in Midnight Basketball or who want more information can attend registration days at Westend Stadium on Wednesday or Friday this week from 1pm to 4pm.

Midnight Basketball Griffith chairperson Roger Penrith expects many of last season’s players and volunteers to return.
