Water Polo Victoria State Squads - 2025
Water Polo Victoria is pleased to announce our State Squads for 2025!
We have been incredibly encouraged by the number of passionate and talented athletes across all our age groups, and are proud of everyone who came along for trials over the last two weeks!
Coaches and selectors for our 13&U, 15&U and 17&U age groups have worked hard over the last fortnight to narrow down our squads, and we are pleased to share the list of these athletes below. We are proud to see so many of our clubs represented in these squads, including DVE, Essendon, NYP, Melbourne Collegians, Footscray, Ballarat, Geelong, Richmond, Northcote, as well as many Ovens & Murray athletes.
Water Polo Victoria takes a broad approach to the development of all our athletes. Those that unfortunately missed out this year have been given feedback and are encouraged to continue working on their skills at club level and in programs such as the WPV Academy.
The athletes in the 13&U squads listed below have been selected to represent Victoria at the Development Carnival in Hobart (July 3 - 6). The squads will train weekly to prepare for this tournament, and will be finalising travel arrangements over the coming weeks!
All athletes in the 15&U age group will take part in the East Coast Challenge (hosted by WPV) from July 11-13, with a selection of the final team travelling for the NSC's to be announced in late July. The entire squad will train together all the way through to the National State Championships (30 Sept - 4th October).
The athletes in the 17&U age group will train together all the way through to the National State Championships (30 Sept - 4th October). Water Polo Victoria will seek competitive opportunities for our 17&U cohort during both training blocks. Selection of the team going to NSC's will be announced in late July.
WPV will also look to add more participants in our 17&U girls' training cohort, helping to develop our athletes in that group. Those VIC based girls born in 2007/2006 who are interested in being a train on participant are encouraged to reach out.
Thanks once again to everyone who expressed interest in our state program, and once again, congratulations to all athletes who have made their respective squads.
Athletes/parents will be added to TeamApp groups this week!

Squad Lists
Selecting a state squad involves more than identifying the strongest individual players, as team chemistry, communication, and the ability to adapt under pressure can make a significant difference during competition. Consistent training and clear expectations also help athletes understand their roles and develop the confidence needed to perform against unfamiliar opponents. For younger players, being selected can be an important milestone, but the experience is equally valuable when it encourages discipline, resilience, and continued improvement throughout the season. Similar principles apply in professional environments, where demonstrating individual ability is only one part of building a reliable team. In the construction industry, for example, businesses often need to demonstrate their qualifications, experience, and compliance before they can compete for certain projects.…
Construction procurement involves more than purchasing materials and appointing contractors, as it shapes how the entire project will progress. A carefully considered construction procurement strategy can help organisations determine the most suitable approach for managing costs, responsibilities, and contractual relationships. Early planning allows potential risks and requirements to be identified before construction begins. This can improve transparency and support stronger collaboration between project stakeholders. A practical procurement approach creates a more organised foundation for project execution.
