The U12 Festival is a fun-focused participation event designed to spark the excitement of water polo in our youngest members. With an emphasis on development rather than competition, the festival provides a welcoming and supportive environment where players can build their skills, confidence, and love for the game. It also serves as a valuable stepping stone for developing junior coaches and referees in a real event setting. Water Polo NSW proudly recognises the Big Orange U12’s Festival as a formal competition, and in line with the Water Polo Australia National Membership and Registration Policy, all participants must be registered under a payment class linked to the WPA Platinum Capitation Fee to be eligible. This festival is a celebration of grassroots water polo and a gateway to a lifelong passion for the sport. For more information please see the Information Brief.
