Water Polo

Established 1963

In a change from the old routine, Water Polo Victoria changed the structure of season and competitions in the 2022/23 year, with a new 2022/23 Summer State League that ran from October 2022 until March 2023, with a break over the Christmas period.

The traditional Winter competition was split into shorter, more social competitions, targeting new players as an introduction to the sport. Registration costs for these short seasons did not provide value for money to students and as such a larger number of students joined socially just for club training over winter and opt not to play in the WPV competitions.  

Retention of these students’ members is important to the longevity of the club and the club is actively pursuing a number of strategies to enhance student engagement and provide new programs for students to gain access to water polo.
