PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

On behalf on NSW, I welcome everyone to the NSW 16&Under Championships for the 2017/18 tournament season.

This tournament will provide an opportunity for teams from all over the State to come together and go head-to-head over four full days of competition. This year we have 17 teams, over 200 athletes and more than 60 team officials and referees that will be pool side.

The Think. Act. Play. program which was introduced in September 2015 has had a strong presence at our state championships and this year will continue to play a large role. 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).

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.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff of Water Polo NSW Inc, plus the staff at Peninsula Leisure Centre.

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

WATER POLO NSW POLICY STATEMENT – SOCIAL MEDIA

Whilst WPNSW encourages social media use, representatives that engage in social media are encouraged to; • Be clear about who you are representing • Take responsibility – you are responsible for your content • Show respect for the organisations that you represent and for the audience that you engage with.

It is important to note that when you engage in social media activities – even via your personal accounts, if you identify yourself as a representative of your Club, State or Country (athletes, coach, staff member, etc.) or discuss matters relating to those organisations in a public forum, you may be held accountable for any comments that breech respective policies.

A FEW TIPS • Think twice and post once – Do not post anything that you would not want your grandmother to read because once it is in cyberspace it is there forever. You might delete it later but that doesn’t mean it has not been cached (stored) in a search engine on the Internet or has not been forwarded or copied into someone else’s domain. • What might seem amusing and innocent to you at present may not seem so amusing when you are looking to sign a contract or commence employment, or a comment you made about someone comes back to haunt you. • Having 5000 friends on Facebook, 4970 of whom you have never met, is not something to aim for unless you are running your Facebook page as a fan medium rather than a personal page. The safest option is to ensure that your profile on Facebook is set to PRIVATE. • Be responsible for content - Understand what you say on any social media platform is online and public forever. • Only post at times that are accepted by team standards. • If you make a ‘mistake’ please own up to it immediately, apologise and be genuine. • When commenting as an individual, please use the 1st Person (e.g. I, me, mine). • Never reveal any confidential or proprietary information. • Never make disparaging or offensive comments, particularly about other countries/States/clubs. Show respect. Stop and think before you post/tweet/send. • If you discover any negative comments made about States or its teams please discuss the post with the appropriate person as soon as possible. Use your best judgement and alert the Event Director. • Breach of this policy may result in disciplinary action by WPNSW.
