PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
On behalf on Water Polo NSW, I welcome everyone to the NSW U14 State Age Championships. I am pleased to see such a strong commitment from all clubs. We are excited to be hosting these championships in the Central West – a first for both Dubbo and Bathurst.
The tournament provides an opportunity for teams from all over the State to come together and go head-to-head over four full days of competition. Overall, there will be 32 teams (16 boys’ teams at Dubbo and 16 girls’ teams at Bathurst) representing over 350 athletes and 70 team officials.
For many of the participants, this will be their first experience under carnival conditions and it is our hope that they enjoy the weekend, gain a better understanding of the game, it’s rules, team play and sportsmanship to ensure their continuance in the sport for many years to come. This may also be the start of a representative pathway for many in playing, coaching, managing or refereeing water polo, so make the most of it!
Last year we introduced a 2-division competition (Championship division and a Cup division) for teams to compete. After an overwhelming positive response, we are happy to be able to continue with this competition structure.
The Think. Act. Play. program which was introduced in September 2015 and had a strong presence at our state championships will continue to play a large part. It was developed to promote and encourage good sportsmanship within the sport; to provide a safe, fair and inclusive environment for all participants (players, coaches, referees and volunteers).
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff of Water Polo NSW Inc, the local Organising Committees and volunteers from both Dubbo Water Polo and Bathurst Water Polo, the staff at both Dubbo & Bathurst Aquatic Centres. We look forward to meeting as many of you as possible over the weekend and to see the great improvement over the 3 days of the carnival. Good luck to all and may many lifelong friendships and memories be made.
I wish all teams the best of luck and encourage all everyone to participate in the best spirit of the game.
Nick Hodgers | President – Water Polo NSW

PARENT MESSAGE The only six words parents need to say to their kids about sports—or any performance

WATER POLO NSW POLICY STATEMENT CHILDREN & IMAGES
Water Polo NSW in conjunction with Water Polo Australian Limited is committed to providing a safe, fun and enjoyable environment for all our children and young people to enjoy the sport of water polo. In this regard Water Polo NSW endorses the policy of Water Polo Australian Limited which is listed below.
WATER POLO AUSTRALIA POLICY STATEMENT CHILDREN & IMAGES
Dear Parent/Spectator,
Recently there have been some concerns from parents about the risks posed directly and indirectly to children and young people regarding people taking video and photographs of players in junior water polo competitions throughout Australia. It is very rare but evidence in Australia indicates that sometimes this information can end up being posted on an internet site or published in a magazine or newspaper where it may be used by unscrupulous people to target children.
Water Polo Australia Limited understands that many parents or relatives that have children playing within junior competitions, may from time to time, take video or photographs of their child or friends for family mementos.
Water Polo Australia Limited fosters the belief that providing a safe environment for all children who compete every week in competitions and tournaments across the country is of paramount importance. To help Water Polo Australia provide a safer environment for our children we would request that parents join us in partnership to address the following strategies to make water polo a safer environment for our children: 1. That all parents and spectators firstly ask the permission of the athlete’s parent / guardian prior to taking their image where practical. Ensure that they are aware of the way in which the image may be used prior to taking a photograph or video of their child. Do not use images of other children on internet web sites, and do not use names of children when displaying images in the public arena. Change rooms must be camera-free zones. 2. As a parent if you notice inappropriate photographic behaviour regarding people that you don’t know, then we suggest that you advise pool management and the coach/manager of your team immediately. We also suggest that you advise your state body of these concerns as soon as it is practically possible. 3. Professional photographers must register with pool management and the tournament director or the event coordinator.
Water Polo Australia Limited would like to thank you for your understanding in helping us provide a safer sport for all junior water polo players.
Further to this, Water Polo NSW wish to advise that the following safety checks will be in place to ensure that reasonable control on the use of photographic and video recording equipment is adhered to. 1. Any parent intending to either photograph or videotape their child/children competing will need to complete the following steps; a. On arrival at the venue where their child/children is competing, will need a register their details. The registering parent will need to produce photographic identification. A driver’s license is suitable. i. Water Polo NSW would expect that all parents would join us in partnership to ensure a safe, fun and enjoyable environment for their children to compete in

Upon selection, players must be willing to participate in the Elite Athlete Pathway outlined upon selection to maintain their position in the squad. The pathway may vary from one athlete to another and between age groups. Any individual exceptions to this requirement will need approval from WPNSW Sports Development Manager.

In the event that less than the minimum 11 players are able to play then a forfeit shall be recorded except in the following situations where the tournament Director may grant exemption: A doctor’s certificate is provided to the tournament director at the time of the game or within 30 minutes after the scheduled conclusion time. Where other exceptional circumstances occur during the tournament, the Club is required to provide a detail information in writing to the Tournament Director prior to the scheduled game commencement time for consideration. Where exceptional circumstances occur prior to the commencement of the tournament that lead to a player being unable to participate or attend the tournament, Clubs are required to clearly demonstrate in writing to the satisfaction of the Tournament Director prior to the tournament that there has been a genuine endeavour to replace said player. 7.4.2 The tournament Director shall treat each occurrence on an individual basis and make a determination in his/her sole discretion without any precedents being established nor needing to be adhered to. 7.4.3 Player Participation – every player must play a quarter of the game within the first half (except in the instances of injury during the game and players fouled out) with substitutions being made at a time-out called at the referees’ discretion at approximately the middle of each of the first two quarters (ie: with 11 players, it is 5-in/5-out and the GK remains; with 12 players, it is 6-in/6-out with the 2x nominated GKs swapping). Where WPNSW exemptions have been granted and a team does not field the minimum required 11 players, any player that is not replaced during either the 1st or 2nd quarters MUST commence the next quarter on the bench. For clarity, please note that where a player has played an entire quarter in the first half without being replaced, they must start the third quarter on the bench and cannot be substituted until mid-way through the third quarter. Standard illegal exchange rules will apply if breached. The intention of this rule is to provide fairness to all teams. The underlining principle is that every player participating is on the bench for at least half of 2x quarters. 7.4.4 Exclusion Re-Entry – on exclusion, no timeframe will be applied. The player must swim to the re-entry box, rise to the surface within the box, then re-enter. 7.4.5 Free-Throw Shot – no shot on goal is allowed from a free throw. 7.4.6 Centre Forward/Centre Back Rotation – after any foul received, the centre forward and the centre back must swim out allowing for a new centre forward.
