- Victorian Institute of Sport
The Victorian Institute of Sport (VIS) is the government-funded sporting institute of the Australian state of Victoria. It runs a number of programs for sports training.
VIS Soccer Program
The aim of the VIS Soccer Program is to implement a high performance developmental training plan to assist elite Victorian junior soccer players in their preparation for World Championships at Under 17, Under 20, and Olympic levels.
The team trains eleven months of the year and competes as the VIS Soccer Club in the FFV Premier League, although the VIS team does not accrue points on the FFV Premier League ladder. The VIS matches are scheduled midweek from February to August.
The program aims to nurture skill development within an integrated learning environment. The young players refine technical skills, decision-making skills and game strategies through ball-centred activities and modified games whilst optimising physical conditioning. Sports Science plays a key role in the program and the soccer staff have written and presented internationally on their research. Notable former athletes include Leigh Broxham, Jamie Cumming, Adrian Leijer, Kristian Sarkies and Cameron Watson.
