We’re planning to make this an exciting mini-tournament, giving players plenty of opportunities to develop their skills in a fun and competitive environment. Following a combined warm-up, players will be divided into teams before taking part in a series of round-robin matches.

To make the day a real success, we need as many players as possible, so we’d encourage everyone who is eligible to sign up and take part.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the East Region Water Polo Manager Jackie Spinks . We look forward to seeing you there!
