Victorian Masters Sport Resource Kit - Australian Sports Commission

Victorian Masters Sport Strategy
Sport and Recreation Victoria (SRV), the
Victorian Health Promotion Foundation
(VicHealth) and the Sports Federation of
Victoria (Vicsport) have developed a Masters
Sports Strategy to maximise the quality and
quantity of Masters Sports opportunities in
Victoria.
The impetus to further develop Masters Sport
in Victoria follows the success of the
VicHealth 5th Australian Masters Games in
Melbourne in 1995, which attracted 10,000
participants in more than 60 sports.
The surplus funds from these Games were
held in trust by the Minister for Sport and
have provided the resources to develop the
Strategy. A principal outcome of the Strategy
has been the development of this Resource
Kit for sport organisations in Victoria.
The Strategy represents a shared vision for
the future and articulates the priorities for the
industry over the next three years, providing
clear objectives and strategies to develop
opportunities for masters aged Victorians to
participate in sport.
It is designed to improve Masters Sport
services, address structural barriers and assist
the sports industry to maximise the economic
and social opportunities associated with the
development of Masters Sport in Victoria.
