Water Polo Australia CEO Christian Renford, said the Australian Youth Water Polo Championships is encouraging water polo clubs to register for this unique event.

“This will be the biggest celebration of water polo in the country and will bring together our sport like never before… it will be something all Clubs will want to share in.

“As part of the festival atmosphere we’re creating, it will not only feature junior water polo competition, but there will be plenty on offer for our coaches, referees, officials and water polo fans alike through the axillary events and education courses on offer.

“We have worked with our accommodation provider Sportslink International to help Clubs secure a good deal when travelling to Brisbane,” he said.
