18&U Female
The 18&U Female high performance program forms an important part of the Water Polo Australia high performance pathway, designed to prepare athletes for Australian representative opportunities. The program is designed to educate aspiring athletes about all aspects of water polo, both in and out of the pool.
Water Polo Australia’s high performance programs play a crucial role in ensuring future success of our national teams. The 18&U program also starts to prepare athletes aspiring to make the transition from the junior representative teams into the the Aussie Stingers ranks (senior teams).
Athletes in this program were led by head coach Phillip Bower.
