Water Polo

Te Rapa has been a consistent presence in the Waikato Water Polo Intermediate competition. We regularly make the semifinals and occasionally get into the finals. Our senior team is the Te Rapa Turbos.

Trainings are held on Thursdays from 4-5pm at Waterworld, Te Rapa. This is a good opportunity to give it a try as you can train without having to pay the fees to play.

Games are played in the divewell at Waterworld on Sunday afternoons, usually between 2-6:30pm. Depending on entries, Intermediate water polo is split into 2 divisions.

School competitions are run in Term 1, Term 3 and Term 4.

There are no school games in Term 2 as Waikato Water Polo run a competition mixing players from schools.

Flippaball

Flippaball is based on Water Polo, but made easier. It is open to Year 5 and 6 students and sometimes Year 4 players will be invited. In Flippaball, players are allowed to stand on the bottom of the pool whilst passing or defending although they are not allowed to move with the ball, unless they are swimming. This year Flippaball will only be played in Term 1 and Term 4 at St. Peter's School, Cambridge in their indoor pool.

For further information contact Miss Trudie Curtis in Room 21.
