Congratulations Ike W (Year 2) on his successful trial for the Melbourne Victory player development program for Melbourne Victory.
Ike took part in 2 day trial, in 40 degree heat whilst nursing a shin injury with 8 stitches that he got 4 days earlier. Not only was he selected but he was told that he was a stand out player. Roughly 20 kids were chosen for under 8s out of hundreds who trialled.
Ike is a passionate soccer player who trains for 3 hours every Saturday and plays for Port Melbourne Sharks Football Club (National Premier League).
Well done Ike on your tremendous achievement! Your commitment and dedication to the sport is an inspiration to your peers.
