The first wave of Expressions of Interest is open to all eligible players across Western Australia, providing athletes from all clubs, academies and regions the opportunity to come together, train, compete, and build connections with other like-minded athletes within the WA water polo community.

This program has been created to compliment existing club pathways and provide athletes with opportunities to:

• Train and compete alongside players from different clubs
• Experience alternative coaching styles and team environments
• Continue developing their water polo skills in a high-performance setting
• Participate in interstate competition and touring experiences
• Build friendships, confidence, and exposure to broader water polo opportunities

Coaches will also be selected through an Expression of Interest process and, where available, will work with the team in the lead-up to the tournament through weekly training sessions and preparation activities.

The tour package is anticipated to include:

• Return flights
• Accommodation
• Meals
• Tournament nomination fees
• Coaching and officials’ costs
• Team training and preparation sessions
