Officials are the backbone to any sport. From beginner programs to high performance, officials are vital to the sport at all levels. In water polo, Officials include: Referees, Technical Delegates and Table Officials. All play a crucial role in ensuring water polo is an enjoyable experience for everyone, as well as laying the foundation for the development of better players. 

Being an official can provide great fulfillment while also taking you around the world as part of this global game. It is a critical role which ensures games can be played successfully and in the right spirit. Water Polo Australia accreditation courses provide a common standard of foundation knowledge for all Officials to build on through practical experience.
