School Sport Victoria is pleased to announce new partnerships with Bowls Victoria, Football Victoria, and Lacrosse Victoria.
These partnerships support SSV’s Strategic Directions 2020 to 2030 providing more sporting opportunities to more Victorian students whilst also supporting our partners in connecting with more schools, teachers, and students.
Equally, they support our partners in connecting with more students. SSV would like to thank these partners for their continued investment into Victorian school sport.
Tony Sherwill, CEO, Bowls Victoria:
"Bowls Victoria is pleased to enter this new partnership with #SSV. Bowls remain one of the most accessible and inclusive sports suitable for all ages and environments. #SSV is a key stakeholder for Bowls Vic in the provision of quality, first-time experiences of sport, and their reach into schools is the ideal complement for Bowls Vic's suite of participation and teacher engagement programs. Conversely, Bowls is a great platform for #SSV's objectives of education, health, inclusion, leadership, and talent." #RollUpVic
Kimon Taliadoros, CEO, Football Victoria:
"Football Victoria is proud to partner with School Sport Victoria to provide more opportunities than ever before for school students to live and love football. Our game is the most played team sport in Australia and with so much to look forward to in the coming years, there's never been a better time to get involved.
SSV and Football Victoria will work together to deliver a series of Gala Days and football programs designed for students of all ages and skill levels to play our beautiful game. Our Futsal pilot program will give Primary and Secondary school students a taste of the fast-paced, 5-a-side version of football that can be played all year round. Along with these exciting programs, Football Victoria is committed to working with SSV to upskill teachers and coaches around the state, meaning our students will receive the best possible footballing experience.
We are delighted to have this opportunity to bring The World Game to more schools across Victoria and welcome anyone who is interested in learning more about these programs."
Michael Sholly, General Manager, Lacrosse Victoria:
'"Lacrosse Victoria is delighted to continue the excellent partnership we have with School Sport Victoria (SSV). Like so many community sports in Victoria, our relationship with SSV is a key element in growing the game. SSV supporting our programs, allowing us to host competitions with the schools is the initial step a participant has in joining a club and becoming more active and healthy. We look forward to offering more of these opportunities to Victorian students with the support of SSV."
Thank you Geoff Rietschel, Will Hastie, Karen Pearce, Anthony Grima, Kristen Hutchinson along with a host of others for your collegiality and support of SSV.
