Manitoba Water Polo Association - Winnipeg

The Water Polo Manitoba Development fund will support the development of players along the LTAD pathway with a concentrated focus on sport initiation and performance pathway.

Our goal is to engage players at a young age (10U) and promote the fun and safety of water polo. The success we achieve with this goal will in turn provide increased participation at the 12U, 14U, 16U and 19U levels.

The proceeds from this project will be used to support the development of athletes and coaches within the water polo for life framework including regional development, school programming, training camps, competition costs, travel to National Championships, inter-provincial events and equipment.

​

The culmination of this project will be the hosting of a Water Polo Canada Western National Championship League Finals.

​

Manitoba Water Polo Association partnerships and programs help increase participation, engage communities, and develop strong water polo players in Manitoba. These activities will help drive water polo at a national level.

This project will allow our competitive teams (athletes) the opportunity to better compete provincially, regionally, and nationally.

The introduction of this project will allow us to expand existing programming to include a larger pool of athletes and provide sport specific enhancements (skills, coaching, mentorship) to ensure increased participation (short term goal) and top 3 results (long term goal).

We will also introduce younger athletes (8U-10U) to portions of the program (specifically sport development camps) as part of our long-term goal to increase sport participation numbers to help grow our youth participation numbers: year 1 - 10%, year 2 – 15% and year 3 - 20% year.

​

Any donations made to this Fund cannot be applied to one individual but will be applied to the general project as described above.

Submitted donations will be reviewed by the MWPA Board of Directors to ensure no direct bias towards program participants.
