Primary & Secondary

Each of the districts currently have a varied selection process for both primary and secondary divisions. Some regions hold trial days while others are required to select based off the player’s handicaps because of the vast area that the region covers. Qualifiers will progress to a 54-hole state final for primary and a 72-hole state final for Secondary.

In 2024, Golf Australia is excited to introduce an expanded array of "school experiences” hosted at local courses and facilities across Victoria. These experiences are designed to offer both new and existing young golfers a chance to learn our game in a fun, game-based and exciting way, moving away from the traditional stroke play tournaments. Our aim is to make golf more accessible and enjoyable for everyone, serving as an inviting introduction to the sport. This initiative aligns with our strategy to increase participation and encourage more Australians to play more golf and we believe this approach will not only foster a love for the game among our youth but also contribute to the growth of golf in Australia. Please see the joint SSV & GA information release.

SSV Primary & Secondary State Teams

• 12 Years and Under  

• 18 Years and Under
