Victoria Country and Victoria Metro have announced squads to take part in summer training hubs to be held across the next two months.

The boys and girls squads will take part in two high-performance training camps in December and January ahead of the 2025 Coates Talent League season.

Players involved in the summer training hubs will participate in football and wellbeing programs and will be provided with individual development plans.

All players selected in the summer training hub squads are born in 2007 or 2008 and will be eligible for selection in the Victoria Country and Victoria Metro squads that compete at the 2025 Marsh AFL National Championships.

The first camp for each program will be conducted across the next week. Victoria Country’s camp will be held at the NEC Hangar, while Victoria Metro’s camp will be held at La Trobe University Bundoora.

The squads will reconvene again in late January, with Country’s second camp to be conducted at the Gippsland Power High Performance Centre in Morwell, while the Metro squads will come together at Deakin University Waurn Ponds.

VICTORIA COUNTRY

The Victoria Country squads feature representatives from each of the six Coates Talent League country programs: Bendigo Pioneers, Dandenong Stingrays, Geelong Falcons, Gippsland Power, GWV Rebels and Murray Bushrangers.

Gippsland Power coach Rhett McLennan (boys) and GWV Rebels coach Sally Riley (girls) will serve as head coaches of the Victoria Country teams.
