SKILLS DAYS
Skills Days are for players of all abilities and standards and are open to all athletes at country associations.
The coaching programs concentrate on the individual skills relevant for players in the specific age group.
U12 Skills Days are usually held mid-July each year.
JAMBOREE
From their participation in the Under 12 Skills Days, 120 top age boys and 120 top age girls are selected to represent Country Victoria at the Country Jamboree in Echuca.
This event, held in September each year, matches country Victorian athletes against each other.
Being in Mildura can be challenging for athletes wanting to go down the Country Victoria pathways, it means time on the road and away from home, sometimes for multiple weekends in a row, however, the gained knowledge, skills, and experience, as well as friendships made at all levels of the CV pathway, make it all well worth the commitment.
