The Victorian Paralympic State Team represents Victoria in the National Championships held in Sydney each year. The team comprises of 12 players who are classified depending on their ability. This relates to persons with Cerebral Palsy, Acquired Brain Injuries and those with stroke related impairments.
The program is designed to develop football skills with added support for the development of personal skills such as resilience and self-reliance, two factors in becoming both an elite performer and valuable assets in life.
The team participates in regular trainings and the All Abilities League as part of their training and preparation for the National Championships. By being in the state team program, players have a chance to be selected for the Pararoos (Australia Paralympic Soccer Team). Creating a pathway for athletes with disabilities is still a continual work in progress in Australia.
Our Achievements:
2015: 3rd Place
2017: 2nd place
6 Victorians selected for the Nationals team, Pararoos Training Camp in March 2018
4 Victorians selected to compete in the Tri-Nations Cup in July 2018
Our 2018 Goals:
Win the National Championships in October
Continue to develop our program and pathways for athletes with disabilities
Build on our current team culture to improve technically as individuals and as a team
