FAQs

Where and when are games?

Games are always at Sutherland Leisure Centre. Juniors games are scheduled between 11-3pm on Saturdays. 

All stars play in the shallow end of the Olympic Pool, where they can touch the bottom. u10s | Advanced Minis in the middle third where they may be able to touch the bottom.

Our 11s and 12s will play in the middle and deep end of the Olympic Pool, where they are unlikely to be able to touch the bottom.

From 13 years+ all games are in the water polo / utility pool, which at two metres deep, means it's rare for any adult to be able to touch the bottom.

Youth and opens from 6-830pm on Fridays, in the utility/water polo pool.

Where and when is training?

Training will be at Max Parker Leisure Centre, Revesby. Date and time TBA. It’s optional, but encouraged for all our junior players.

What if my child isn’t quite confident or is a weaker swimmer?

Contact us or speak to your coach at the game. Arctic and the association are flexible with division allocation – we’re here to support people enjoying playing more water polo more often.

What happens if I register for a half season and want to play in 2026?

Let your coach or manager know and an invoice will be sent to you for the second season.

When will registration open for seniors?

We expect registration to open in September 2025 and will send you lots of reminders in the lead up!
