Programme Overview

Our Senior Men’s and Women’s teams represent the pinnacle of Hawkes Bay Water Polo. These teams provide a platform for athletes to compete at the highest level, showcasing their skills and representing the club with pride.

In 2026, we aim to reignite our Senior Men’s team and establish our first-ever Senior Women’s team, marking an exciting new chapter for Hawkes Bay Water Polo. This is a significant milestone, and we invite all eligible players to join and make history with us.

Uniform Sales

Once selected into the squad, information will be released about a “Registration Night” where squad members are to place their order for uniform. We bulk order uniform from overseas so players and parents will be required to attend this evening to try on and order kit for the season. 

Players must have the club togs and uniform to play in any tournaments. 

If you have any questions about uniform, costing etc please get in touch… admin@hbwaterpolo.net.nz
