The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) is a government funded sports training institution based in Canberra.[1]
The AIS' soccer program participated in the Victorian Premier League in 2007 and 2008, in part to create an even number of teams following the farcical ending to the 2006 Victorian Premier League season.[2][3]
In 2007, the AIS played all of its designated home fixtures at the home ground of their opponents.[4] In 2008, they played most of their home games at AIS Field 14, along with some games out of Victorian regional venues.[5] The AIS left the competition after the 2008 season.
Previously, the AIS had participated in the National Soccer League's National Youth League, winning three titles (1986, 1997-1998, and 1998-1999).[6] [7]

FFV's compromise saw them relegate only Frankston Pines, keeping the Royals and George Cross, and adding the AIS to even out the numbers in an expanded competition.
