👏👏👏👏⚽ Two Heatherton soccer prodigies are preparing to represent Australia at the prestigious Youth World Challenge Cup in New York where they will compete against some of the world’s best young players.
Identical twins Oliver and William Sellinger, both 11, have been selected for the Australian Under-12 squad and will travel to Stony Brook University, New York, to compete from July 21 to 26.
The twins’ football journey began at Melbourne City Football School and Mentone Panthers Soccer Club, and have continued to excel over the past few years, their mother Amy said.
After two successful seasons playing for the U10 and U11 Bentleigh Greens SC Kangas teams before signing with Prodigy Futbol Lab (PFL), this season they play for PFL’s U12 A team, competing as Burwood City FC in the Football Victoria competition.
Both boys are also members of the Melbourne City FC Under-12 Elite Squad based at Casey Fields and volunteer their time by coaching their school’s interschool soccer team, helping inspire the next generation of young players. They also both represent their school as House Captains at Le Page primary School.
Last summer, Oliver was named Under 11 Player of the League by Soccer5’s after finishing as his team’s leading goal scorer, while William finished second.
Their mother, Amy, said seeing both boys selected to wear the green and gold was an incredibly proud moment after years of hard work, commitment and countless hours of intensive training.
But despite their success, she said the twins remain humble, team first players who simply love being on the field.
“Watching William and Oliver achieve this dream together is something our family will never forget," she said.
"They’ve worked so hard for so many years, sacrificing weekends, holidays and countless hours to improve their football.
"To now have the opportunity to represent Australia together on the world stage is beyond anything we imagined.”
The family said they were "incredibly grateful" for the support from local community including Kingston Council that helped make the trip possible through grants, fundraising, sponsorship and donations.
As they prepare to pull on the green and gold in New York, the twins' mother said William and Oliver hope to inspire other young footballers to chase their dreams through hard work, dedication and a love of the game.

⏰ Every Minute Counts at Le Page Primary School! ⏰
Being on time for school does more than just start the day smoothly—it sets students up for success.
Did you know that arriving just 5 minutes late each day can add up to approximately 3 days of lost learning over the course of a school year? Increase that to 20 minutes late each day, and students can miss out on around 13 days of valuable learning time.
When students arrive on time, they have the opportunity to:
✅ Settle into the classroom routine
✅ Connect with their teachers and classmates
✅ Participate in important morning learning activities
✅ Build positive habits that support lifelong success
At Le Page Primary School, we believe that every day counts, and every minute is equally important. By arriving on time, students are ready to learn, engage and make the most of every opportunity.
Let's work together to ensure our students start each day ready to thrive! 💙💚
