Water Polo is an exciting, fast paced and an energetic sport that’s not only fun to play but also exciting to watch. Water Polo is one of the most physically demanding sports where players use every muscle in their body to stay above the water while trying to out manoeuvre the opposition. .. It’s like basketball in the pool. Water Polo is an excellent team sport with loads of opportunities to play in both school and club competitions.
Westlake Girls Senior competition is played in Term 1 with trials for the Premier team occurring in November or December of the previous year. The top team trains through the Christmas holidays then begins competition matches at the end of January.
The Junior teams trial in Term 1 and play throughout the year but their main competition is featured in Term 4.
