Established in 2018-19 the Northcote Water Polo Club (NWPC) is passionate and growing club that seeks to provide an safe and inclusive club environment for anyone that wants to play water polo.
By encouraging participation in sport at both a social and competition level, the Club aims to improve the social, physical health and wellbeing of our members and their families and the community as a whole.
The Club has affiliations and support from Water Polo Victoria (WPV) and Water Polo Australia (WPA).
We are also running our first social adults group and hope to progress to a competitive team or two soon.
