Hi All
Sharkies, As Summer Comp is fast approaching the club needs to appoint referees for all our Academy teams. Refs are needed for U14, U16 and U18 boys who all play on a Wednesday night and U14,U16,U18 girls who play on a Sunday afternoon (note: this can be as early as 12.00) Referees will be mentored during the season by senior referees and given feedback on how to improve their refereeing. Referees for State/Nationals will be appointed by the club based on qualifications and performance. Referees appointed to Academy teams may also be asked to ref up to 3 grade games throughout the season, when it is suitable and will not be paid for these games. Lastly referees are expected to dress in a professional manner. All referees are expected to wear a white collared shirt and shoes while refereeing; payment is dependent on this as it is a requirement from our governing body. Please note if you are assigned to a team you are expected to ref each week (that is home and away games), it is your responsibility to find a replacement in extreme circumstances. Referees will be appointed based on qualifications and experience. It is the team’s responsibility to ensure you can get to the venue each week. If you are interested in refereeing can you please fill in
the attached form, outlining your qualifications and experience and return to ian.gatherer@yum.com |

The 14 Blue girls had one of the tougher pools which meant some harder games during the rounds which set us in good steed for the playoffs. A 13-0 win over Hunter gave us the highest TF and a spot straight through to the Grand Final. After an inspirational pep talk from Kerry
Turner the girls came out all guns blazing in the final to secure an early lead
over Drummoyne. The girls continued to dictate play and rise throughout the
game to convincingly win the game 9-4. This win is a testament to the amount of
talent we have within our junior members and the dedication of every player in
this team. Congratulations
to Samantha Mitchell who was awarded MVP and to all the girls who made TAP and
development squads. Thank
you to all the parents for your assistance and support over the weekend, you
all helped achieve this fantastic result. We can’t wait for Nationals. |
The 14 Blue boys started the tournament a
bit slowly, but as the games went on the boys started to play some really good
‘team’ water polo. After finishing 2nd in our pool we found
ourselves playing After
a great bonding session we started off strong and
eventually took the game in the third quarter with a rewarding 6 – 0 lead and
eventually wining 9 – 3 to see us progress to the Semi finals against Breakers. Another
solid performance saw us win 11 – 4 to earn our place in the final against
Alstonville. We came out all guns firing against Alstonville and leading 5 – 0
at half time. Alstonville produced some impressive water polo to come back to 6
– 4 before the last quarter. The boys held their nerves and finished the game
winners 9 – 6. |

A
special thank you must go to Rob Cockle (manager), Daniel McKenzie (referee)
and Kerry Turner (super mum) for there assistance with the boys when I was busy
with State selections. Also thank you to all the parents for their support and
trust. Congratulations to Rhys Holden for earning the Most Valuable Player of
the tournament, it was well deserved. Also well done to all those boys picked
in the U14 TAP program and the U13 Development Squad. |

Bruce has had an association going back 21 years with NSW Water Polo, to 22nd November 1989 - he has now finished working with NSW Water Polo. Before Bruce started employment as Coaching Director with NSW Water Polo he was involved as a volunteer coaching NSW women’s representative teams. 1982 – Under 19 1983 – Under 19 1985 – Open & Under 19 1986 – Open 1988 – Under 18 1989 – Open, Under 21 & 18 1990 – Under 21 & Under 18 1991 – Under 21 & Under 18 1992 – Under 20, Under 18 & Under 16 1993 – Under 20, Under 16 & Under 14 1994 – Under 20 & Under 16 1995 – Under 16 1996 – Under 16 1997 – Under 16 That is a staggering 24 teams over 14 years and nearly all teams won the tournament they played in. Bruce was a very understanding and knowledgeable coach and was able to readily empathise with his charges to bring out the best in them. Bruce was responsible to the development of the NSWWPI Coach Education Program and drew on a vast range of resources when presenting the course. Feedback received from participants of courses conducted by Bruce was always positive, with the new coaches inoculated with an appreciation that the game of Water Polo is for the player’s enjoyment. Since AWPI has developed the National Coaching Accreditation Scheme Bruce has presented this course with the same passion he has always held for the sport. At international level as a coach Bruce excelled, coaching the Australian Junior women’s team over a thirteen-year period. The results were; 1995 FINA Junior Women's World Championships Saint Fe 2nd Place 1997 FINA Junior Women's World Championships Prague 2nd Place 1999 FINA Junior Women's World Championships Messina 1st Place 2001 FINA Junior Women's World Championships Perth 2rd Place 2003 FINA Junior Women's World Championships Calgary 6th Place 2005 FINA Junior Women's World Championships Perth 3rd Place 2007 FINA Junior Women's World Championships Porto 1st Place (unable to attend because of a leg injury) Appointed to the position for 2009 but ultimately withdrew himself on health grounds. In all that time Bruce lost about 6 games only as an Australian Coach, a remarkable achievement in the international arena. Bruce was remarkable for spotting talent and developing athletes through the junior ranks into senior National Teams and his knowledge of the game and scouting of opposition teams could not be faulted. New South Wales Water Polo and Australian Water Polo wish Bruce every success with his future endeavours. Bruce intends to keep himself involved with the sport, especially coaching his beloved Cronulla Sutherland Sharks. |
