2024 NSC, 2025 AYC and Water Polo Victoria Competitions Update

After thorough discussions and consultations with our partner State Associations, alongside Water Polo Australia, we have collectively reviewed and refined the delivery of the National State Championships, aligning it with our overarching national competition calendar and pathway programs.

National State Championships

In a significant shift, the 15&U and 17&U Men’s and Women’s National State Championships will now take place concurrently, at the same venue. The 2024 NSC will be held on the Gold Coast from the 26th to the 30th of September 2024. This change aims to foster greater cohesion and synergy among participants while enhancing the overall experience of the championship. This also includes a change where states are only permitted to send one team with athletes who don't make their respective state teams available to enter the draft.

Additionally, the 19&U National State Championships will undergo a transformation, transitioning into a Talent Identification Camp. Stay tuned for further details regarding dates, venues, and registration processes, which will be announced shortly.

Australian Youth Water Polo Championships

Water Polo Australia will soon unveil new dates for the Australian Youth Water Polo Championships for 2025 which is being held in Perth. We eagerly anticipate confirming these details in the upcoming weeks, so keep an eye out for the official announcement.

Water Polo Victoria Competitions

Due to the above changes and from discussions held with clubs Water Polo Victoria will provide information regarding the competition dates and structure for the immediate future shortly.
