It is open to all athletes over the age of 13 and takes place at MSAC at 5:30am - 7:00am (Monday for Girls, Tuesday for Boys and Friday combined session).

Coaching Opportunity

WPV are always on the lookout for new coaches who wish to work with our young athletes as they move along the Elite Pathway. We are seeking both regular coaches to develop and grow our athletes, but also specialist coaches who would like to come in on a part-time basis to teach our athletes about a particular area of expertise. This could be in areas such as Swimming, Goalkeeping, Strength & Conditioning, Stretching, Nutrition etc.

If you are interested, please complete the EOI so we have you on record for opportunities throughout the year.
