TEAM VIC
The School Sport Victoria (SSV) Team Vic representative program provides an opportunity for Victoria’s elite students to challenge themselves against Australia’s best school aged athletes across numerous sports at the annual School Sport Australia (SSA) Championships. SSV runs the selection process for Team Vic teams in partnership with relevant state sporting organisations. If you believe your child is one of the best in the state in their chosen sport, you may wish to consider this.
Please do not apply if your child is one of the better players in their chosen team. They would need to be the best player on their team. They need to be the best player in their rep team. For example, if your child is playing rep basketball, they would need to be the best player in their team AND in the top grade. I’ve seen students apply for Team Vic when they are not even the best player in their class! Please do not do this.
Schools can only send a maximum of three students per sport. It is up to parents to register online but then they require approval from the school. Please contact me prior to applying if you have any questions.
