Company Director - Vicki Chong (VC)

Starting her soccer career in 1988 for an all girls soccer team, Vicki played and represented Auckland and New Zealand at all age group levels until she left for Denver, Colorado to play College Soccer for the Metropolitan State College of Denver in 1996. Returning in 2002 with a B.A in Human Performance Sport and Leisure she focused on her career as a Personal Trainer and Corporate Fitness Centre Consultant.

Settling back into the New Zealand Lifestyle 2003 gave her the freedom to let her dreams become reality and create New Zealand's first official 3v3 (3 players versus 3 players) soccer tournament.

"All team sports promote teamwork, co-operation, great fitness and co-ordination skills, and an environment where solid friendships can be made. New Zealand Women's Soccer has provided me with opportunities to travel to numerous countries, meet and experience other cultures, and complete my university degree whilst playing a game I love. Now I have the opportunity to help develop, improve, and enhance the way all New Zealanders young and old view team sports. It is not just the competitive nature of the game but it is about participation, enjoyment and working towards a healthier lifestyle. VC Challenges was created to challenge the elite and able player but also provide for the beginner. Never deny anyone the opportunity to have fun, let's play!"
