Interschool Sport Key Information

At School Sport Victoria (SSV), our core purpose is to develop young people through school sport and to support schools to maximise opportunities for all students to play sport.

In partnership with leading State Sporting Organisations, we deliver a comprehensive interschool sport program across Victoria. This structured environment gives primary and secondary students the fantastic opportunity to represent their school, build physical literacy, and connect meaningfully with their peers.

Our program brings to life our three strategic pillars every day:

• Play: We establish inclusive, safe, and highly accessible competitive platforms for all capabilities.
• Value: We champion school sport as a key element of a healthy, active school lifestyle.
• Connect: We build pathways that link grassroots school activities with long-term community sporting systems.

Get Ready to Represent Your School

From swimming and netball to cross country and lawn bowls, our program offers a massive variety of individual and team sports.

Because local parameters vary, please check directly with your school administration to see which specific sports are active in your area. Schools coordinate and select their own student teams, so it is highly recommended to understand your local school's selection timeline.

Inclusive Multiclass Opportunities

We proudly champion fair play and equal opportunity. Our structured formats explicitly feature dedicated multiclass event streams to ensure that students with disability can represent their school and compete alongside their peers with pride.

Essential Program Resources

We make event preparation straightforward by placing all necessary handbooks, schedules, and compliance rules directly at your fingertips.
