Selection process
We go through a very thorough selection process to finalise our teams and players will be placed in a team that our selectors have determined best suits their ability and experience. While inevitably there will be some movement of players, both up and down teams, it is important to remember that this movement can be a result of the following factors:
- New players who didn’t play last year can also create movement for other players, especially if they are placed in a higher team, resulting in other players moving down to a lower team.
- Individual development and growth over the summer months. If individual players have put in an extra effort and completed additional training over the holiday, this can definitely show during trials, resulting in higher performance on the court and some movement between teams.
We understand that some students will have questions regarding the trial process and eventually the team selection – if your child does, please ask them to see Anna in the sports office.
As per our Sports Selection Policy, no correspondence regarding team selection will be entered into. If you wish to view it, please download the document at the bottom of this page.

Uniform
If your child is successful in securing a spot in the Waterpolo A team, it may be necessary that they wear the NX Waterpolo togs. Depending on whether we are able to attain stock, these will be available to order and pay for from our Resource Room. The cost for Girls togs are to be confirmed. These are high quality togs specifically designed for Waterpolo. We will inform parents when they become available. The purchase of the togs is not exclusive to the A team.
