2024 National Age Group Program Coaches
The National Age Group Program forms an important part of the Water Polo Australia high performance framework, designed to prepare athletes, coaches and referees 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 National Age Group Program also provides the ideal environment to prepare aspiring athletes looking to extend their representative honours with the Ord Minnett Aussie Stingers and Ord Minnett Aussie Sharks (senior team) and also who have aspirations for the Olympics.
