Schools

The SV Participation team is passionate about assisting schools in a multitude of ways:

ONLINE PDs FOR TEACHERS & SUPPORT STAFF

To ensure we cater for schools running the two sports at different times across the state, we have locked in online PDs for both T-Ball and Softball at the beginning of term 1 and term 3. These sessions are specific to the School Sport Victoria (SSV) Primary competitions at District, Division, Region and State levels.

As we know, school teams work towards achieving success at the State level, but providing a great experience at each competition prior to this is just as important to us. In fact, it really all starts in the school yard, so our PDs covers games and drills you can use to get your team ready, and information to help teachers and convenors ensure you have everything required to support your team on game day and/or run the competition.

The PDs will take you through:

The differences between Fully Loaded Softbal and traditional Softball and why the changes were made
Equipment and field set up requirements
How to facilitate the game
Fielding positions including details about pitching and catching
Making 'outs' in the field
Batting / Hitting
Loaded bases and base running
Scoring the game
Coaching tips for strategy, game play and skill development
Resources available

SSV State Finals Dates:
SSV State T-Ball Finals for Primary Boys/Mixed and Girls
SSV State Softball Finals for Primary Boys/Mixed & Girls

SSV DISTRICT, DIVISION, REGION & STATE COMPETITIONS

We can support your competitions by assisting with sourcing umpires, linking you up with a local club to attend and provide their support, provide you with links to useful resources and answer any questions to ensure your day is a success. Please send us your dates so we can put them in the calendar.
