Club Development and Competition Well done to all Clubs and their teams competing in the local leagues. This continues to be the primary product offering of the Association with teams competing across three pools in Adelaide. The clubs continue to be at the core of our sport and the growth engine for our competitions, feeding the development pipeline for high performance squads. The Office for Recreation and Sport (ORS) grant for Club Development will further strengthen our clubs and provide support to develop grass roots participation and take on more members. Governance and Financial Sustainability The Board have taken on the new Constitution and worked with the committees and management to implement key policies to support the good governance of the WPSA operations. At all levels commitment to the principles of good governance is a proven foundation of managing risks and improving the performance of organisations. WPSA continues to work closely with Water Polo Australia (WPA) and ORS to continually improve in this area and it is a key requirement for maintaining financial support. Development Pathways and High Performance The high performance program received a significant boost from the ORS and WPA with new funding to support the full time head coach role in South Australia. The development program continues to feed players into national squads and congratulations to all these athletes. Beyond the player pathway the Board continues to support initiatives to keep talented and passionate members involved through coaching and official development. The National League teams kicked off the season preparations with international trips which worked well to bring the squads closer together and get valuable pre-season match practice. The men’s squad was boosted by the presence of import Stefan Porobic. The squads continued to benefit greatly from successful fundraising specifically the Bunnings BBQ’s, wine drives and strong home game raffle sales. With the continued support of major sponsor Fyfe, the financial position of the teams and overall Association is very strong. For Water Polo South Australia, the teams are the peak representation for our athletes and maintains the Boards full support as a key element in our athlete development pathway. Relationship Development and Marketing WPSA have continued strong working relationships with all our stakeholders. From the pool deck, in the stands, across social media and a new look website, we have continued to grow our presence in the community. Various initiatives around TeamApp, school visits, sports co-ordinator meetings, venue and facility engagement all come together to keep our members informed and the many highlights of water polo to the next generation of players and parents. Specific programs in partnership with WPA for FlippaBall clinics and holiday programs linking with other aquatic sports are great ways in which we can take the next step towards growing overall participation across schools and clubs. Water Polo South Australia, Annual Report 2016-2017 Page 7 of 68 In closing I would like to thank Board Directors, in particular long serving retiring directors Mark van der Pennen and Jon Harmer, Executive Officer Andrew Swift and WPSA staff, coaches, officials, volunteers, parents and players for the journey over the year and look forward to seeing the ongoing success of Water Polo in South Australia. Derek Seret WPSA President Water Polo South Australia, Annual Report 2016-2017 Page 8 of 68 3 Report on Operations 3.1 Executive Officer’s Report It has been another positive year for the Association with some great work done behind the scenes over the past 12 months. The Association is getting stronger in all areas, more efficient, more customer focused and as a result is positioned well for the future. Water Polo SA has been successful in its funding support for both the development and high performance areas with the Office for Recreation and Sport committing over $300,000 over the next three years. Even after the cessation of the SASI water polo program in October 2016 the Office for Recreation and Sport remain committed to the growth of the high performance program. The Minister for Recreation and Sport, Leon Bignell MP wrote to me in January 2017 confirming their assurance to funding the high performance program which allowed Water Polo SA to sign Dusan Damjanovic as head coach for the next three years. To be so successful in our grant applications Water Polo SA has needed to be strong in its governance and this is where a lot of the background work has been completed over the past 12 months. Many policies and procedures have been reviewed and the Constitution was accepted at last year’s Annual General Meeting. This best practice brings the Association in line with the Office for Recreation and Sport guidelines and expectations. There have been a number of notable outcomes from the High Performance programs under the coaching direction of Dusan Damjanovic. 15 SA athletes have progressed through the State and National pathway and are on the Water Polo Australia depth chart (pathway model). Currently there are 36 females and 55 males training in the state squad programs and all are representatives of the four water polo clubs. Large numbers have been developing in the senior squads with 18 boys and 18 girls at this level. We are really pleased with numbers at this senior level and more focus will be put on identifying and developing more junior athletes to integrate them in the junior State Development squads. Last financial year, Water Polo SA committed its office space at SAALC for five years with a partnership agreement between SAALC, Swimming SA and Diving SA. Water Polo SA partnered up with Swimming SA and Diving SA to form the Aquatic Sports Coalition. The Coalition is the ‘body’ that has entered the agreement with SAALC and provides opportunities to work closer together in the future while streamlining administration tasks. Water Polo SA will continue reviewing all of its operations to see how we can do things better and more efficiently. We are pleased to have introduced the use of TeamApp as the key communication avenue for our state team squads and while improving overall communication it will save administration hours in the future. Additionally, Water Polo Australia will be launching new processes, coach and official accreditations which will support the State Association operations. Next year proves to be an exciting year with a lot of improvements for everyone involved in water polo.
