As we reflect on the past 12months, it is with honour that I can advise that Water Polo Queensland has performed exceptionally. Our high performance athletes have achieved the goal of representing their state and country. Overall membership numbers have increased by 11.9% to a total of 3,300 full active financial members and participation in school levels has exceeded expectations with over 15,000 school students being introduced to Water Polo through WPQ Flippa Ball Programs. WPQ would like to take this opportunity to thank all the clubs, coaches, referees, volunteers and especially the players for such a successful season. Our sport would not survive without the hours put in by the club volunteers, the sacrifices they make and the support provided by their families is incredible. In summarising the key performance targets in meeting needs of the 2014-2016 strategic objectives the following can be reported. SO1: Increase capacity and improve participation pathway from grassroots through to the elite level (2013-2016). Objective – Conduct, increase, expand, introduce and implement opportunities from Flippa Ball to elite and sub-elite levels on a ‘play for life’ philosophy while having innovative and sustainable programs to facilitate development and empowerment of all areas of participation WPQ facilitated two eight (8) week block clinics at over 72 schools exposing approximately 15,148 students to the sport. This has in turn increased the accessibility of Flippa Ball and school based programs. Moving forward the organization is working on a “Learn to Flippa” product which has been piloted and will be run in commercial learn to swim centers in 2015/16. SO2: Share common purpose and objectives, strategic and operational plans, policies and procedures, including commitment to stakeholder service focus. Objective –Through best practice models promote transparency and responsiveness of governance and administrative leadership to member organisaitons. Further improvement needs to be focused upon this area to
