Team Vic Key Dates
At this time of year some parents will ask me about how their child can apply for a spot in the SSV State Team for various sports. Here you will find the Team Trial Readiness Guide that will assist you as a parent on whether you believe your child would be ready to trial for one of the sports available. Here is the information for each sport and here are the key dates for when registrations will open/close for each of the sports.
The following sports are currently open
- U12 Netball Girls
- U12 AFL Boys
- U12 Cricket
- U12 Basketball Girls/Boys
- U12 Soccer Boys
Please ensure you have a read of the information sheet that should answer all of your questions. Parents are able to register your child in a sport that they feel their child excels in without consultation with the school. Please be advised it is a highly competitive process. If there are more than 3 students that apply for a sport, SSV will advise us at St James as we are only able to endorse 3 students for one sport. The only other time SJV needed to be involved is if your child makes the Vic Team, the principal will be asked to endorse the student before they can register for the team. I hope this answers some of the questions you may have.
As always, please get in touch if required.
Stay safe, keep active
