Water Polo in 2013
The 2013 Sunshine Coast Secondary Schools Water Polo Competition is starting in Term 3. In 2012 we had an incredible 10 teams competing and this year St Andrew’s is hoping to enter as many teams as possible into the competition.

 

The competition is divided into the following divisions:

Junior Teams	Intermediate Teams	Senior Teams
Year 6/7/8 Girls Year 6/7/8 Boys	Year 9/10 Girls Year 9/10 Boys	Year 11/12 Girls Year 11/12 Boys

 

The competition will take place each Monday evening and will commence in mid-late August. Games will be played at both the Noosa Aquatic Centre and Kawana Pool.  Game times will vary from 4:30pm – 7pm and players will be required to make their own transport arrangements to and from the games.

 

Training:

Training sessions will be held on Tuesday evenings from 5pm - 6:15pm at Noosa Aquatic Centre starting mid May 2013. All players are expected to attend. There will also be additional training during student’s allocated Sport time – Monday periods 5 and 6 for Seniors and Friday periods 5 and 6 for grades 7-8 and Tuesday afternoon for Yrs 9 and 10. It is for this reason that I ask interested players to select Water Polo as their Sport Electives for Term 3.

 

All players are expected to wear St Andrew’s swimming togs and sports uniforms to all training sessions and games.

Finals night 2012
it was superb night of Water Polo. 5 St Andrew's teams in 'A' Grade finals. Four teams are now Sunshine Coast Champions!

The St Andrew's spirit was on display and there were some incredible moments. Sincere thanks to the many supporterswho attended and supported the St Andrew's teams.
Junior Boys and Intermediate Boys beat Matthew Flinders, both in thrilling penalty shootouts after extra time. The Junior Girls beat Matthew Flinders convincingly 9-2.
Our Open Girls have lost for the last 4 years against Sunshine Beach in Finals and this year they finally beat them 8-5. The Open Boys went down 9-6 to Siena.

Mr Cam Piper was in his playground! and deservedly should take plenty of praise for his incredible enthusiasm, knowledge and passion - St Andrew's water Polo is what it is because of his energy! It has been a brilliant season.
Thank you to all players, coaches, supporters and followers of St Andrew's Water Polo
