Support for State & National Representatives
February 5, 2024Hockey Victoria have established a Foundation to provide support for athletes who have been selected in state and national teams, but whose financial situation makes their participation difficult.
See the quote below from Andrew Skillern.
“The Foundation provides an opportunity for Hockey Victoria to provide a platform for us as the governing body, the community, and its stakeholders to give back and support those who may be having financial hardship or facing barriers which prevent inclusion. We are looking forward to providing multiple projects through the tenure of the Foundation and particularly excited for our inaugural project ‘Junior Representative Scholarship Fund’. We would like to thank our partners for this project Sports Excellence Scholarship Fund (SESF), The Offsiders and the Australian Sports Foundation (ASF).” – Andrew Skillern (HV – CEO)
Project 1 – HV Junior Representative Scholarship Fund
Hockey Victoria is partnering with the Sports Excellence Scholarship Fund (SESF) and The Offsiders to support young athletes whose financial circumstances would preclude them from otherwise participating at representative level for their state or Australia.
Donations to the Foundation are welcome.
