Water polo
My main concern is getting balls thrown at my face, but you get used to that after a while ... you actually train yourself to throw your head towards the ball. ... You do get nervous, but I quite like nerves. They keep you on edge.
—Victoria Brown[5]
Brown is a goalkeeper.[1][5] She took up the sport in high school, while in Year 7,[6] with the first team she competed for being the U17 Kawana Waters side.[4] In 2010, she had a water polo scholarship from the Victoria Institute of Sport.[7] She has a water polo scholarship from the Australian Institute of Sport.[3] When actively training, she will have ten to twelve training sessions, including gym work, a week.[6] Her home training pool is the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre.[8] Before every game she plays, she brushes her teeth.[2]
Club team
In the Victorian State League competition, Brown plays for the Monash water polo club.[4] In the National Water Polo League Brown currently plays for the Victorian Tigers.[9][10] In 2005, she played for the Lauriston club in Armadale.[8] She played for the Brisbane Barracudas in 2008.[11][12] The annual match between Breakers and Barracudas is considered is one the Courier Mail considers a grudge match. She participated in the 2008 edition with her team.[13] She played for the Victorian Tigers in 2007[14] and 2009.[15] She was with the Tigers in 2010,[16][17] when Cronulla played in the finals tournament; in the tournament, she was named in the league final's All Star team.[17] She was with the Tigers again for their 2011 campaign.[18] She briefly played with the Tigers in 2012 before taking a break following their 18 February 2012 game against the Cronulla to attend the national team training camp.[9][10]
Junior national team
Brown has represented Australia on the junior national level. In 2002, her first year as a junior national team member,[6] she competed with the national youth girls team that toured the United States in June and competed in an international series in Sydney in August.[19] In 2004, she was a member of the team that toured Europe in July and August,[20] and was the only Victorian woman on the team.[6] In January 2005, she was on the junior side that competed in the VI FINA World Junior Championships in Perth and won a Bronze madal.[21]
