2011 14 & Under National Club Championships

The Tasmanian 14 & Under Girls achieved dramatic improvement at the Australian Water Polo National Championships in Canberra over Easter. The team of 13 girls had a fantastic week long championships. They worked hard and supported each other in and out of the pool.

At last years Nationals the team only scored 11 goals and had 80 goals scored against them. This year they scored 39 goals and only had 31 goals scored against for a massive turnaround in form.

The girls demonstrated their skills in high pressure and challenging games, they were always competitive against the tough sides.

The girls finished high in their group pool and claimed five victories, showing tremendous improvement from the first game and they continued to improve greatly from the experience.

A couple of refereeing decisions marred a couple of games, including against the defending champions that lead to us losing 3-4 in a very tightly fought contest.

They are all lovely girls and they love their water polo.

TeamS named for 14 And under CLuB Championships 2011

Hobart hosted the 16 and Under National Championships 28 September - 3 October 2010.

Congratulations Dylan Huxley (Born 1994 Tasmania) who was selected in the "Driver" position in the Australian Boys squad. Check out the story at The Mercury newpaper website.

Both coaches, Aleks Osadchuk (Girls) and Chris Wybrow (Boys) commented on the difficulty in coming up with the squads after the high standard championships concluded.

A Boys and a Girls team represented Tasmania at the 14 and Under National Club Water Polo Championships held in Brisbane over the Easter school holidays.
 
There were 15 Girls and 15 Boys teams from across Australia competing in Brisbane. After several months of training the Tasmanian players have gain much from the experience of playing at this very high level against the best in the country.
 
The Tasmanian teams had fourteen girls and fourteen boys and only one of these youngsters had represented the state in Water Polo before. Both teams improved greatly each game they played and were thrilled when out of all the teams competing; both goalies from Tasmania were named as the goalie of the championships.
 
This is a great honour for these excellent players. Molly Towns for the girls and Cameron Lewis for the boys. Water Polo is very strong on the mainland states and for two Tasmanians to walk away with 2 of the 6 trophies on offer was an outstanding effort.
 
Both Molly and Cameron will look forward to trying out for the 16 and under teams for the National Championships to be held later in the year in Hobart, 28th September to 3rd of October 2010.
