Water Polo Victoria is thrilled to announce the release of our 2025 State Program Calendar! This is an exciting opportunity for athletes and coaches to be part of something truly special as we prepare for another year of competition, growth, and success. Whether you’re an aspiring athlete or a passionate coach, this is your chance to get involved and represent your state at the highest level.
Expressions of Interest Now Open
15&U & 17&U National State Championships
We are calling for Expressions of Interest (EOI) from athletes to join our State Teams for 2025. If you’re ready to take your skills to the next level and compete against the best, we want to hear from you!
![East Coast Challenge 2024](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ebb206_29411426803448368d2334a659ae76b2~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_653,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/ebb206_29411426803448368d2334a659ae76b2~mv2.jpg)
Trials for 15&U (born 2010 and 2011) and 17&U (born 2008 and 2009) early Term 2, and athletes who are unable to attend the trials due to exceptional circumstances will be provided an opportunity to trial at a later date.
Similar to 2024, extended squads will be selected following trials, with the final teams to be announced after the June/July School Holidays following the East Coast Challenge (15&U) and the Interstate Challenge (17&U).
13&U Development Carnival
Water Polo Victoria will once again look to send multiple teams to the 13&U Development Carnival in Hobart in 2025.
As this is a development series, the selection criteria will not be solely based on skills and ability. We will reward the athletes who attend training, listen to feedback and generally are good ambassadors for the sport of Water Polo in and out of the pool.

At this point in time, we are taking expressions of interest to decide what the program looks like and how many teams we will send to this year's series.
Athletes born 2012 and 2013 are eligible to play in this tournament, any athletes born 2014 will be permitted to train and "may" be eligible to attend the tournament depending on numbers and if exemption is granted by WPA.
More information will be sent out at a later time confirming training dates/costs etc. once we finalise the EOI's.
