Olympian Skills Clinic – Coaches

The coach clinic will be run at the same time as the player skills clinic. Coaches that sign up here will be mentored by Olympians Mel & Bec Rippon in helping athletes develop their playing techniques and fundamental skills.

This is a super exciting opportunity as Bec Rippon was the Women's Assistant Coach at the most recent Olympics in Tokyo.

Girls Making Waves

We have a few spaces left in our second Girls Making Waves session. This is a free introductory water polo session for girls aged 7-12 which includes:

land based skills like throwing and catching
Shallow water fun and games at the shallow end
Target practice and shooting at goal
Floatation assisted games - brightly colored inflatable tubes are a feature of the program and the girls each get one to splash around in for the session

This program is Supported by the Office of Sport’s ‘Her Sport Her Way’ grant program, aimed at reducing barriers to participation, promoting inclusive sport experiences, and growing the game for women and girls.
