Are you interested in competing for Victoria University in a local sport competition? Why not join a University club or get some friends together and form a new team.

Victoria University Vultures Canoe Polo
Last season Vic Uni Vultures Canoe Polo team had quite a successful run, we ended up on top of the ladder in our grade by a clear four games. Although sadly Mike Lanyon (due to personal commitments) was unable to continue with us this latest season the team has continued up a grade and has actually grown and prospered. In fact through advertising the sport and talking to relevant groups at Victoria University we have been able to start and maintain a second Vic Uni polo team comprising mainly of first year students. This has been a great successes and a brilliant opportunity as it gets the first years involved in the VUSU extra curricular activities, gives them the chance of long term commitment and acts as a feeder team for the original, higher graded team.
