Dear Water Polo players, officials, and stakeholders,

Well, the season is underway!

It was my pleasure to be down on pool deck yesterday along with staff members Oli, Mia, Renee, and Warren, to watch games being played in 4 different pools at HBF stadium concurrently.

Players of all ages, referees (some who had just played or were about to), young timekeepers learning the ropes, spectators and several HBF staff in attendance to help make things run smoothly and to set up the pools.

Dear Water Polo players, officials, and stakeholders,

Probably the single most important contributor to the success of any organisation is unity. This is why unity has become a primary strategic focus for the Board of WPWA.

So, what does it mean? What creates and sustains unity and how do you measure it?

These were all questions that were central to the Club Forum that was conducted 16 September. A number of club representatives came together (some zooming in) at WAIS to take part in a unity workshop that followed ...
