Players were put through two five-hour sessions by an elite team of coaches.

Murray United technical director Adam Carty is thrilled with the relationship Victory is building.

"With changes to the FFA youth development pathway, state-run programs hold less relevance than they once did in the development of elite players," he said.

Also in sport:

"As a result, we are seeing A-League clubs invest heavily in player development.

"To this point, A-League clubs are now excelling in the national championships, traditionally reserved for a 'state vs state' only competition.

"Regional NPL clubs such as Murray are perfectly placed to develop strong alliances with A-League clubs to help streamline players' opportunities to develop and excel."

The next two days of Victory's program are scheduled for early June.
