Sydney Kings players Angus Glover and Makuach Maluach recently visited Macquarie Fields Salvos in South-West Sydney to shoot hoops with local young people from a nearby high school.

Organiser, Major Darren Kingston, says it’s the second time players from the Sydney Kings basketball team have engaged with Macquarie Fields Salvos in community work, since sponsoring the building of a basketball ring within the mission’s carpark.

“It was great for the Sydney Kings to come out and help build community in the local area,” he said. “They did a skills session with students from James Meehan High School, and played one-on-one with them.”

This year, Macquarie Fields Mission is investing more in local young people, with the employment of a part-time youth-worker who will start in February.
