WaterPolo

Water Polo is a Team sport played in water between two teams of seven players each. The game consists of four quarters in which the teams attempt to score goals by throwing the ball into the opposing team's goal. The team with the most goals at the end of the game wins the match. Water Polo also builds ball skills and fitness. To be able to play water polo you must be able to swim.

We have teams in Year 7 through to year 13 which are mixed teams that play in the North Harbour Competition. Also competing in Tournaments throughout the year.

The AIMS Tournament and North Island Champs Tournaments are run as competitive (rather than participatory) tournaments.
