Represent Queensland at Col Smee: Athlete EOIs now open
Water Polo Queensland invites athletes to submit an Expression of Interest for selection in Queensland’s representative teams at the 2026 Col Smee Tournament:
-
WPQ Sharks Academy - men’s team.
-
WPQ Dolphins Academy - women’s team.
The tournament will be held at Cranbrook School Aquatic Centre, Sydney, from 4–6 December 2026.
WPQ will select and manage both teams. WPQ Sharks and Dolphins Academy athletes will be considered alongside other eligible Queensland athletes. Academy membership does not guarantee selection, and all interested academy athletes must submit an EOI.
The eligible birth years are 2005–2008. Water Polo New South Wales will only consider underage dispensation requests for athletes in the National Age Group Program (NAGP), with agreement from the relevant national coaches. Overage dispensations are not available.
Athletes requiring underage dispensation should contact WPQ immediately, as requests must be submitted to WPNSW by Friday 6 November.
