Vikings Water Polo are pleased to introduce our newest program to everyone "Little Vikings". This program aims to introduce new athletes to Water Polo in a Safe, Fun and Enjoyable way. Vikings are pleased to offer two FREE come and try days to kids who are wanting to try the great sport of Water Polo!!

"Little Vikings" is offered to kids 8-11 years old (in that calendar year). Vikings Water Polo places an emphasis on "Love to Play" and "Learn to Play" through the use of modified rules such as catching with two hand and non-contact. The use of modified rules allows your child to focus on the enjoyment of Water Polo and meeting new friends. Your child then has the option to progress and compete in Vikings very own "Vikings Little League" and additional "Little Vikings" Programs. 

Vikings Water Polo are pleased to announce Academy Water Polo founder and new Vikings Director of Junior Coaching and Officials Simon Daley will lead this program. Simon has a wealth of knowledge for the sport which was founded after representing South Africa as a junior swimmer. Following this Simon decided to focus his efforts towards water polo and was fortunate enough to represent South Africa at the highest level at the 1998 Perth and 2005 Montreal World Championships.

After finishing his intentional duties Simon was given an opportunity to play in the Australian Water Polo National League Competition, in which he was part of the 2004 Championship Team. His career as a player finished in New Zealand with Maranui, winning the national championships in 2006.

Post playing career, Simon focused on coaching and fostering the sport of water polo in Australia and was offered the head coach role at the Queensland Academy of Sport. A position he held for 10 years. This position was held through two Olympic Games Cycles (Beijing and London) under the tutelage of Simon Queensland had 5 athletes fulfill their dreams of becoming Olympians. 

We look forward to seeing you in the pool!
