NSW STATE TEAMS ANNOUNCED FOR 15&U AND 17&U
NSW’s Next Generation Gears Up for National Championships
Water Polo NSW is proud to announce the official selection of our 15 & Under and 17 & Under Boys and Girls State Teams, who will represent New South Wales at the upcoming 2025 National State Championships (NSC) in Canberra from 30 September to 4 October.
The NSC is the premier stage for Australia’s most talented young water polo athletes - a high-performance competition that pits the best against the best from each State and Territory. More than just a fight for national glory, the Championships also serve as a key Water Polo Australia selection event for the National Age Group Program (NAGP) squads. It’s where emerging stars make their mark and future Olympians begin their journey.
These athletes have earned their spots through dedication, resilience, and elite-level skill. Their selection is a testament to their hard work, commitment to excellence, and the strength of the NSW water polo pathway.
With the 2025 NSC set to ignite in the nation’s capital, expectations are high for the NSW squads -always known for their depth, talent, and tenacity in the pool. These teams are ready to showcase the Blue and White with pride as they chase national titles and individual recognition on the biggest age group stage in the country.
