“Our vision is to inspire all Victorians to chase their sporting dreams and passions and this partnership is a testament to that commitment,” said Gary Williams, Managing Director – rebel. “Sport is calling and together, rebel and Vicsport will champion sport participation in schools and local communities. In doing so, we will also promote mental health and wellness across our communities.”
