The history of women’s basketball in Vic is a roller coaster spanning nearly 90 years, or, if you prefer a sporting metaphor, an obstacle race with a final victory.
It begins as a love story, later one of liberation, then of struggle and empowerment, eventually becoming the chronicle of a collapse, of injustice. A collapse that leads to a resurgence, a new beginning, and finally success and consolidation.
This is not just the story of institutions, clubs, or sports organizations. In this case—and it’s not unusual—it is fundamentally the struggle of many women and a few men. A collective narrative led by singular individuals who, at different times and eras, became the main characters, forming a polyphonic story and a multifaceted view of history.
The story of women’s basketball in Vic is a local snapshot, but at its core, it is a universal portrait. It is also the story of countless women, many sports, and many towns. A shared history of struggle, empowerment, shattered ceilings, values, and community. A success story that begins in the schoolyard and continues to the present day, with over 300 girls and young women playing the sport they love every week.
