16&U Male
The 16&U Male high performance program is a pathway designed by Water Polo Australia to contribute athletes towards future Aussie Sharks teams. The program is designed to educate aspiring athletes about all aspects of water polo, both in and out of the pool.
Water Polo Australia’s high performance programs play a crucial role in ensuring future success of our national teams. The 16&U program also starts to prepare athletes aspiring to make the transition from the junior representative teams into the Aussie Sharks ranks (senior teams).
Athletes in this program were led by head coach Dragan Bakic (NSW).
