Water Polo Queensland Polo 5's 2022

Water Polo Queensland (WPQ) is excited to again host the WPQ Polo 5's Competition. Following the success of the last WPQ 5s competition, WPQ will again run the Polo 5's Competition as a way to offer a short, fun, social competition for Seniors and those aged U18 years to get back into the pool.

The WPQ Polo 5's Competition will allow players both existing and new to the sport to participate in a semi-competitive, social competition.

This year WPQ will be offering both a Senior and 18U Competition for men and women due to the previous demand from the younger age groups. This competition will provide a great opportunity for all players to play in an affordable, fun, social competition. Teams can be Club or Association based or you can make up your own team from a group of friends, family or work colleagues. New adult members can register under the Silver Standard fee ($45) and new School, University or TAFE students can register under the Bronze Standard fee ($20).

With the competition commencing on May 9^th and running for 7-weeks, this competition will offer the perfect opportunity for players to participate in a short, fun, modified, competition format.
