Two VIS athletes, one male and one female, stand in front of a room of primary school aged children, doing a presentation.

Our athletes regularly visit Victorian Government schools for FREE thanks to School Sport Victoria.

VIS athletes inspire students through stories of resilience, determination, teamwork and more. They demonstrate how sport and physical activity positively influence wellbeing, sharing insights into the highs and lows of elite sport, staying motivated, and performing at their best. These experiences encourage students to pursue their goals with confidence and commitment across all aspects of life.

For over 30 years, Be Fit. Be Well has brought some of the world’s best athletes to Victorian students.

FAQs

Is there a limit to how many students can attend?

There is no limit on the number of students who can attend. If there is a wide range of ages, the presenting athlete will do their best to tailor their presentation to ensure it is engaging and appropriate for all students.

When will I know which athlete is presenting at my school?

If your booking date is approaching soon, we will work to allocate an athlete as quickly as possible. Please allow up to two weeks for confirmation, as we need to contact multiple athletes and await their availability. For bookings scheduled well in advance, we appreciate your patience. Athletes’ schedules can change frequently, which can make it difficult to confirm availability too far ahead of time.

How can I prepare for the athlete visit?

We recommend reading about the allocated athlete in advance so students can prepare thoughtful questions. Your confirmation email will include the athlete’s name, sport, and a link to their profile on the VIS website. Ensure a screen and audio system are set up and fully operational prior to the athlete’s arrival, so the session can begin smoothly and on time.

Can I change the date and time after making a booking?

We will do our best to accommodate but changing your booking date is difficult. Our athletes have very busy schedules, and once your booking is submitted, we soon begin contacting athletes to secure their availability. We kindly ask that you are confident in your selected date and time before confirming your booking.
