Hi Everyone,
Wharenui has a strong base of teams in all grades from under 12, under 14, under 16 and under 18 that we get from teaching our players the principles of water polo - skill, speed,
technique, tactics and team work. Our aim is to get people playing water polo.
We engage different coaching targets for different grades of players, as you move up the grades in our club you will learn different skills that are suited to your ability and age group
with the under 12 enjoying the FUNdamentals and knowledge of the game compared to the explosive speed and skill of the senior grades.
We offer professional, skilled, passionate, coaches that aim to get the best out of our players along with dedicated swim training programs that target water polo. With being a member of
the Wharenui water polo club you also enjoy the benefit of free entry into Wharenui swimming pool free of charge during public swim times.
Come along to our "Club Days" (see attachment for times and dates) for fun, games and prizes (this could be a squashed Chocolate fish) that include the all age groups
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me for further information.
Attached are the confirmed dates and training times for all groups for Wharenui water polo club and
a registration form to join our water polo club.
I look forward to seeing you poolside.

Hi Everyone,
You have a game this Saturday at Jellie Park against QEII under 12's, please make sure that you are on poolside ready to get in the pool at 3.00pm, the quicker you are ready the more game time you will get.
Your training time has changed to 3.00 to 4.00pm on Saturday still at Jellie Park.
Behind the scenes- I have contacted Hutt water polo club in Wellington to see if they could get pool space for you to go up and play some games against them, I have also contacted Otago.
We are looking for a team manager for the under 12's, it involves sending e-mails, keeping players and parents up to date etc, helping on trips (a bit like helping out on school camps) if you are interested please see me.
Swim-Fit- make sure that you get down to the swim fit training on a Sunday morning 10.30 to 11.45 at Wharenui Pool
If you have any friends that want to give water polo a go get them to contact me.
Thanks

Hi Everyone
It is great to see so many players down at trainings, it is good to excellent ethics at training, it makes the coaching much easier and more fun.
It is very important that you keep up with your flexibility and strength exercises ½ an hour before you get in the pool. This time is part of your training
and not a chance for a chat with your mates, by all means talk while you workout , but do not stand around and talk, we do not do it in the pool - do not do it
during warm up!! - these sessions will do 2 things that I need from you
- Makes you stronger and more agile
- Stops you getting shoulder injuries- that means that you can play water polo longer.
Black warm up band are available for $5.00 see me (Rory)
Under 16
We have just got confirmation that we have been invited down to Dunedin for a tournament with Otago and Southland for under 16 only, as a build up for the nationals,
if you want to be considered for nationals I would strongly advise that you go on this trip.
- We will be leaving on Saturday 11th June and returning the next day Sunday the 12th.
- You will be billeted
- We are driving
- You must tell your coach if you are available for selection by this Tuesday at training
- Cost TBA - should have costs by next week
- Parents are very welcome to come on any trip.
Under 16 nationals- time to start thinking about these, they are on the 17th of July to the 20th July in Auckland for the boys and girls are from the 24th to the 27 of July in Rotorua.
Under 14
You will be going to the same trip as the under 16 later in the year. Keep up the good work on getting to both sessions this week we will be looking "marking your player"
and how to counter attack
Under 12
You have been outstanding with you enthusiasm at training, tomorrow you will be looking at tactics and understanding water polo, so that you can understand more of the game and why and what happens during a game.
We are looking for a manager for this team, if you are interested please see me.
