Dear FlippaBall Parents,
Well there is only 1 game of Flippaball to go (this Friday 21st March) and so thoughts turn to winter training.
As previously advised, the club has updated information regarding the 2025 Winter Training (Junior Academy) on our website, including registration links. The Junior Academy is designed for players looking to take their game to the next level (see details below).

Season 2024/25 FlippaBall season
Our popular Friday night FlippaBall competition will be back for term 4, in the Water Polo Pool at HBF Stadium!
We expect to commence the season in October 2024 with players registrations planned to open early September 2024.
The major focus of these programs is for children to have fun, in a safe, family oriented, aquatic environment.
The BBQ will sizzle and the Polo Bear Café will be available for refreshments.
FlippaBall is a non-competitive social introduction to water polo for boys and girls in years 2-6. The rules are modified, with the field, goals and ball reduced in size to suit the age of the participants. Players are able to form their own teams (10 players optimal) or be placed in appropriate teams. The pool is divided in to quarters.
