Masters

One thing we know about our water polo Masters community is that "Polo is for Life"

Our Water Polo NSW Masters event is a Social competition with a 70-year legacy, keeping players connected across Australia. It’s a chance for old team mates to reconnect and play again.

It’s a weekend away with a difference. You get to socialise and have fun, but also play polo.

Life is about balance, right?

This is a focus age group for Water Polo NSW and ties in with the FINA format. We want this to be an annual event where each year players across NSW get together to play polo and socialise for the weekend. All teams are welcome in this exciting new format. We have a lot of ex elite players, parents, and social squads across our regions who have limited opportunity for competitions against non-local teams.
