2 President’s Report “The Headlines”

• In last years report at least four items under “The Great Challenges” moved into the great headlines this year including

o Becoming competitive at National Championships. In July our 14 and Under Boys won a bronze medal. The first by a South Australian team at the East Coast Challenge since 2014. This was in addition to our National State Championships bronze last year.

o Membership Levels. A drop this year but still very solid numbers at 295 and the third highest;

o Improving our development opportunities. Both High Performance and junior development programs have further developed.

• Continued high number of international representation both in juniors and seniors; • Sensational 18&U Tournament hosted at SAALC. SAALC Nominated the Tournament for Event of

the year with Sport SA. • Continued good number of State teams sent away with high levels of athletes and good

potential shown; • After more than 2 years we now have the SASI coach position resolved. • WPSA providing coaching support to SASI while the coaching position is resolved; • Water Polo now played at 3 pools with another opening at Campbelltown in the near future; • Online registration now refined as our registration method • New Executive Officer appointed with sports and NFP experience; • Relationships with key stakeholders has continued to build; • Continued improvement in reporting and monitoring of grants; • Successful with a new round of grants and grant acquittals.

“The Challenges”

• Current model for the Board does not give the Association the ability to elect a Board based on capability and specific skills;

• The ability of the Board to decide and follow through a course of action in an efficient manner; • The above issues are driven by an outdated Constitution that prevents a small capable and

appropriately skilled Board from being formed. It also means the Association is wasting a willing pool of volunteers;

• Becoming more competitive in National Championships; • Becoming more competitive in National League; • Increasing or at least holding our current membership levels; • Having all clubs viable for juniors, Seniors and both genders; • Taking Water Polo to new areas in metropolitan Adelaide and South Australia; • Continuing to improve our development opportunities and systems for our athletes; • Keeping our focus on improvements that benefit our sport rather than politics;

My summary of our operations in this report is that Water Polo South Australia is now operating as a genuine business. We have excellent recognition and support of our key stakeholders of how we have developed our operations. However, resolving our Constitution and Board make-up will assist our Executive staff to achieve our strategy for our sport.

2014-2015 Annual Report Presented for the Annual General Meeting 27/08/2015

WATER POLO SOUTH AUSTRALIA Page 5

Some highlights of 2014-2015 are: WPSA Board: As the Section 9 shows the Board has had very good attendance at meetings. Meetings have been conducted at SAALC. Officers from the Office of Recreation and Sport have attended. For some time we have been working on a new constitution. The first draft has been completed is completed and there will be a Special Meeting to consider this change. The constitution revision is the most important task for the Association. Management: Charmaine Jackson Competition Manager and Gayle Rogers Executive Officer are new to their positions but have demonstrated they will be of significant benefit to the Association. Our office at SAALC is now fully operational and we are building relationships with the other aquatic associations. Development: During 2014 and 2015 our development programs continued to provide increased opportunities to our athletes. Our junior squads have had record numbers and we have established squads at each level of National Competition. During 2015 the High Performance Program has continued to provide a pathway for our athletes to SASI and national League. We have seen further group’s transition to SASI and another group being has been selected for the High Performance Program. National Representation: This year again saw our athletes achieve outstanding results with selection to National teams and squads. The first selections from our High Performance Squad were achieved. National League: 2015 saw a significant number of new players to both the men’s and women’s teams. While both teams did not achieve the success they were hoping for the season was a positive experience for both teams and continued to build a platform for the future. National 18 and Under Championships: A tremendous event with great support from our volunteer community. Over 32 volunteers helped deliver this great event. SAALC nominated the event for the 2015 Sport SA Event of the Year. Membership: Again inn this report we can say the big success is our membership levels. While there was a drop in membership numbers to 295, part of this drop is due to better administration of the Sporting Pulse database. In closing, I would like to thank all people who have assisted WPSA throughout the year including our Board Members, Executive Officer Gayle Rogers, Charmaine Jackson Competition and Events Officer, Head Coach Alex Murphy, Finance Officer Sarah Kelly, our development coaches, state team coaches, referees, team managers and committee members.

3 Report on Operations

3.1 Operation Manager’s Report

Ben Arthur, our Operation’s Manager resigned effective of 31 March 2015. Therefore there will be no official Operations Manager report in this annual report. A number of Board Members took on responsibility for various areas of the association whilst recruitment of an Executive Officer and Competitions & Events Officer was under taken. After an extensive search and two rounds of advertising, Gayle Rogers was employed as the Executive Officer (15 hours per week), and commenced work on 15th July 2015, and Charmaine Jackson was employed as the Competition & Events Officer (10 hours per week) commencing May 2015.

3.2 Overview of changes and work in progress

Prior to Ben’s departure he worked closely with the Board, reviewing office structure, recommending to the Water Polo SA Board the following staffing structure

Charmaine Jackson is currently performing the Competitions & Events Officer role and Sarah Kelly, Finance Officer & State Teams Administrator Role. Coaching and Development Officer Roles are currently under review, as negotiations are in progress for a new SASI Coach, which will in turn affect the WPSA High Performance Coaching role and the Development Officer Role.

3.3 Grants Overview

Water Polo SA has continued to receive grant funding support from the Office of Recreation totalling $84,500 (plus GST) for 2014-2015. The 2014-15 ORS grants included:

Sport and Recreation Sustainability Program Grant

Provide Leadership, policies and services

$ 27 500(plus GST)

Sport and Recreation Development and Inclusion Program Grant

High Performance Pathways Program

$ 25 000(plus GST)

Sport and Recreation Development and Inclusion Program Grant

Officials Development Program $ 10 000(plus GST)

Sport and Recreation Development and Inclusion Program Grant

Flippa Ball Program in the Southern Suburbs

$ 22 000 (Plus GST)

Water Polo SA will receive new funding under both the Sustainability Program Grant and the Development and Inclusion Program Grants for 2015-2016 in the amount of $86,600 (plus GST).

3.4 Development

Water Polo SA chose 6 schools to work with in 2014/15. They were based on relative size, and ability and willingness to travel to the SA Aquatic and Leisure Centre for sessions, and the location proximity to the SA Aquatic Leisure Centre.

• Brighton Primary School • Warradale Primary School • Christ the King School • Darlington Primary School • Glenelg Primary School • Westminster College

In addition to these schools that were specifically targeted, a range of other schools in the Southern suburbs received promotional material from Water Polo SA.

2014/15, Water Polo saw a 22% increase in children participating in the Flippa Ball competition. Flippa ball membership now represents approximately 13% of the sport’s membership base.

For a lengthy period, clubs have had difficulties in recruiting new members to their club at the 10-12 years of age level. There has not been an established program to assist with this process until Flippa Ball. There is now a strong base of children (and their families) that have been introduced to Flippa Ball, and will continue to be involved in the sport.

Another significant outcome is the increased communication with schools in the general southern area. Connections with schools in the Southern suburbs have been limited in recent times due to lack of staffing. Through Water Polo SA’s Development program, communication lines have now

Page 10: Annual Report 2013 - Water Polo SA Home - Water Polo SA

2014-2015 Annual Report Presented for the Annual General Meeting 27/08/2015

WATER POLO SOUTH AUSTRALIA Page 8

been opened, and we will continue to provide information to schools on how they can be involved in the sport.

3.5 High Performance Program

The 2014/15 High Performance Pathways Programs (HPPP) has focused on the development of South Australia’s young, talented water polo athletes. It has received significant ORS Grants funding, and has increased that funding for 2015/16.

High Performance Pathways Program Aims:

• Providing an underpinning program to the SASI Water Polo program • Prepare the best athletes to be truly elite • Develop individual athletes to the standard necessary to be selected into a national squad

via a year round elite training squad

In July 2014, 15 (6 female, 9 male) athletes were inducted into Water Polo SA’s HPPP. These athletes have been selected from Water Polo SA’s senior and junior competitions, as well as the development squad training program (incorporating state squad training sessions). Added to this, specific trials were conducted to allow for a transparent selection process. The alignment with the SASI Water Polo program continues, with the following athlete progression occurring:

• Athletes that have moved through to SASI in 2014/15 (from 2013/14 HPPP) o 1 athlete (1 male) – in effort to maintain a high quality program at the SASI level,

Water Polo SA has limited the number of athletes to move from HPPP • Athletes that have retained their place in the High Performance Program in 2014/15 (from

2013/14 HPPP) o 5 female athletes o 5 male athletes

Focus has been aimed at induction of girls into the HPPP Program, resulting in a squad of 10 girls currently, this has enabled WPSA to enter a girls High Performance team into the 2015/16 Summer A-Grade competition. Something the boys High Performance team has been competing in for the last two seasons.

WPSA and the High Performance Program also hosted a Water Polo Australia Women's Talent Identification Camp at SA Aquatic & Leisure Centre on the 24th of May 2015. Two sessions were held for athletes, with SA Coaches given the opportunity to attend and observe.

4 Major Events 2014-2015 was a very busy time for Water Polo South Australia. We hosted three national tournaments, the East Coast Challenge and the 20 & Under National State Championships in July 2014 and then the 18 & U National Club Championships in April 2015, as well as numerous National Water Polo League Home Games. All these events involved a huge organisational effort by our operational staff and many extremely valuable volunteers. The success was largely due to an outstanding commitment by Operations Manager Ben Arthur and Tournament Director Alex Murphy, as well as a fantastic group of volunteers.

All three events ran very smoothly and were a success and credit to our association.

4.1 East Coast Challenge hosted by WPSA – 10th – 14th July 2014

The South Australian Aquatic and Leisure Centre welcomed twelve teams for the first day of the 14 and under East Coast Challenge, seeing over 150 athletes and as many spectators descend on Adelaide. The tournament was held in Adelaide for the first time in its 24 year history, and with the National 20 and under championships also being played in Adelaide, three water polo pools were in operation. The SA Aquatic Centre was buzzing with a large passionate crowd but despite cold winter weather outside, Water Polo SA turned on a warm welcome as management and volunteers worked hard to successfully run both the ECC and the 20 and Under National Championships. The support of parents and the wider water polo community was much appreciated, and WPSA acknowledges the contribution of the young SA referees helping out under the watchful eye of Tony Hall

4.2 20s & Under National Championships hosted by WPSA – 8th – 13th July 2014

Water Polo SA and the SA Aquatic & Leisure Centre welcomed 13 Men and Women’s teams to the 20 and Under National State Championships.

It was an extremely successful tournament for South Australia, with a combined South Australian/Victorian/Tasmanian women’s team achieving an amazing GOLD MEDAL and our South Australian Junior Men achieving the BRONZE MEDAL.

In the Gold Medal game, the composite team of South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania took on the West Australian's. The South Australian contingent of Chloe Barr, Lucinda Swan, Lucy Burg and Georgina Symons all contributed, with Barr starring in the win.

The SA men's team, coached by Alex Murphy, played in the early game and Queensland - a team they had narrowly beaten only days prior. The South Australian's played as a team, not relying on any individual players to come away with a 8-5 win. After the game, Murphy credited the win to the team's "steely defence, combined with dynamic shooting."

The smooth running of these championships would not have been possible without the valuable support and assistance provided by Water Polo Australia, the SA Aquatic and Leisure Centre, the State Government, in particular the Office for Recreation and Sport, and event sponsors.

WPSA would like to acknowledge the staff and volunteers of Water Polo SA that worked tirelessly to ensure that the championships were a success.

4.3 18 & Under National Club Championships hosted by WPSA – 7th – 12th April 2015

The 18 & Under Boys National Club Championships was hosted by WPSA at the SAALC in Adelaide from 7th -12th April 2015.

16 teams, including our Adelaide Jets completed in over 52 games over six days.

The organisation and running of these championships would not have been possible without the valuable support and assistance provided by Water Polo Australia, the SA Aquatic and Leisure Centre.

WPSA would also like to acknowledge the staff, especially Alex Murphy and Charmaine Jackson and numerous volunteers of Water Polo SA that worked together to ensure that the championships were a success.

WPSA would again like to acknowledge the staff and volunteers of Water Polo SA that worked tirelessly to ensure that the championships were a success. We had over 32 volunteers that provided assistance, one way or another for up to 12 hours per day for 6 days. WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT YOU!

5.2 20 & Under National Championships – 8th – 13th July 2014

Gold Medal For Our Combined South Australia/Victoria/Tasmania Women 20 & Under Junior Women A combined team of Victoria/South Australia/Tasmania (Composite) emerged as the victors of the women’s competition with a 5-2 victory over Western Australia in a hard fought game at the 2014 20 & Under National State Championships.

http://www.waterpoloaustralia.com.au/news-media/news/news-article/article/2014/july/2014-womens-20u-national-state-cships-preview/ It was a fairy-tale victory for the Composite team who first came together the night before competition commenced. Composite coach Grieg Richardson said the whole week was a learning process for his side.

“We only had 55 minutes together on Monday night,” Richardson said.

“We kept it simple and I think we won on defence, in a way we used the tournament to train, the games weren’t easy, but it was a steep learning curve.”

Despite the eventual score, the match was extremely close between the two sides as it came down to a defensive contest. Composite had begun with a strong first quarter to lead 3-0 at the break.

Unforseen at the time, the first term is what set Composite up for the win as Lucinda Swan scored twice with support from Chloe Barr, ensuring that Composite relieved any pressure they were feeling early in the game.

Coach Richardson said the first period helped calm the nerves of all the girls in the team, and the coaching staff.

“It was a brilliant start for us, and in that game it was a lot of goals for a quarter. It didn’t feel easy, but it was reassuring after that term. If someone had a heart rate monitor on me, it wouldn’t have looked so easy,” he said.

The second stanza really showed the tenacity of the WA team as they managed to slow the scoring rate of the Composite girls, limiting them to just one goal off Ellie Stott as Jessica Zimmerman produced the first goal for WA.

In similar fashion to the second term, the third saw the teams inseparable as both sides failed to score a goal. Composite goalkeeper Katie Blunt was at her best as her team rallied around her with

Page 18: Annual Report 2013 - Water Polo SA Home - Water Polo SA

2014-2015 Annual Report Presented for the Annual General Meeting 27/08/2015

WATER POLO SOUTH AUSTRALIA Page 16

strong defence. WA also showed impressive defence to ensure that a win was not out of their grasp.

The final term again saw just one goal apiece as Barr bagged her second for the game, while Jiorja Ralston put her name on the board for Western Australia.

Katie Blunt, who was post game named goalkeeper of the tournament, said that it was a strong team effort in defence, which helped her between the posts.

“I am amazed that we came together in a week, our defence was clinical and the girls on my team made it easy for me,” Blunt said.

I need to thank the team for that. We’ve been working on having a team of shooters all week and that showed in the opening quarter today.”

The win marks the first time that South Australia and Tasmania have won the title at these championships.

Bronze Medal For Our South Australian 20 & Under Junior Men

http://www.waterpoloaustralia.com.au/news-media/news/news-article/article/2014/july/2014-mens-20u-national-state-cships-preview/

A strong final quarter led South Australia to claiming the bronze medal over Queensland following on from an encounter that had both sides trading goals throughout the contest.

Queensland had the upper hand early on in the game, scoring within the first thirty seconds of play with Pat Flanagan the man to get his side on the scoreboard first. SA responded, albeit in the final two minutes thanks to Michael Carter. However the even playing field was short lived as Zac Hudson stepped up to have Queensland calling the shots at quarter time.

The middle two quarters of the game played out in a similar fashion to the first, with one team scoring and the other replying. SA took advantage of extra man opportunities in the first and sixth minutes of the second term, while Queensland rallied to find space around a full South Australian defence.

In the dying minutes of the third Stanza, Andrew van der Pennen stepped up for SA to score what would be an unanswered goal to put his side two clear of Queensland, and on the path to victory.

The final quarter was tough for Queensland as SA took advantage of the confidence earned in the previous period of play to extend their lead to four goals, claiming their national championships medal in their home state.

Game 2: Adelaide Jets (1) versus All Hallows (24)

Game 3: Adelaide Jets (2) versus ACT Fins (10)

Game 3 was eventful. The table made mistakes early in the game and the first quarter, as a result one of the starting 6 had 2 exclusions recorded in the first quarter and was rolled midway thru the 3rd quarter. We lodged an appeal.

5.4 14 & Under National Club Championships – 1st – 6th April 2015, Gold Coast

Unfortunately, WPSA could not field a 14s & Under Girls team this year, however, Catherine O’Sullivan has taken the reins and a 14 & Under Girls team recently attended the East Coast Challenge in Brisbane in July 2015. We did however field two 14 & Under Boys Teams, our first team was the Adelaide Jets and the second more inexperienced players were the Adelaide Stealth.

29 Teams overall competed in the Boys competition. Adelaide Jets placed 11th and Adelaide Stealth were the Shield Runner’s Up placing 25th overall.

16 teams, including our Adelaide Jets completed in over 52 games over six days at Marion. The Jets placed 7th overall, a good result based on previous years, and considering we had a couple of players with injuries – Jake Linden, did not play at all, and Sam Jackson was injured during our 3rd game against Sydney University Blue and was out for following game and not 100% for the remainder of the tournament.

5.6 20 & Under National State Championships – 12th – 16th May 2015

Victoria/South Australia combined for the women this championship, with Georgina Symons as the sole South Australian representative. Victoria/South Australia played off for Bronze but were unfortunately defeated by WA 13-7.

South Australian Boys place 6th Overall

The SA 20 & Under boys placed 6th, however the final placing was not reflective of the quality of the games played, three of our five games were won or lost by 1 goal.

“Queensland won a thrilling fifth place playoff on the final day of action at the men’s 20 & Under National Championships, defeating South Australia in a 15-14 affair at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre.

It was the men from the sunshine state that opened up the early advantage in the first half of the game, only to see it whittled away in the third portion of the game as South Australia put together an impressive comeback.

The Queenslanders opened the scoring courtesy of Zac Hudson as they raced to a three goal, 4-1 lead at the first break. The advantage over South Australia extended in the second term to 10-4, Queensland seemingly cruising to victory.

Despite their six goal deficit, South Australia turned up the heat in the third period as they stacked on eight of their own goals, Andrew van der Pennen adding three, to be trailing by just one goal, 13-12 at the final change.

With the victory on offer for either team at the beginning of the final stanza, it was Queensland who stood up to be counted first, their efforts eventually rewarded with victory.”

7 Membership Statistics 2014-2015 As can be seen by the data below, the membership of Water Polo SA declined by 15% however still remains strong at close to 300 members. Senior ranks experienced a small drop in male and female membership with main decrease being in the Junior ranks. This is being addressed through implementing more junior grades and a renewed focus on development activities including Flippa Ball and partnering more closely with SAALC to target holiday programs. The core growth effort needs to remain on supporting the Clubs to not only provide a quality product for participants to enjoy, but they also ensure the needs of their members are met throughout the season. The challenge for Water Polo SA is to continue to grow the sport, whilst being able to provide support for the Clubs that foster this growth in numbers and encourage broadening participation at all levels of the sport.
