Come and Try
TRY WATER POLO
Jump in. Have a go. See if they love it.
Never played water polo before? Perfect.
If your child is confident in the water and loves being in the pool, Come & Try is an easy way to see if water polo might be their thing.
They’ll join one of our Wednesday Junior Training sessions, meet the coaches and other kids, get a ball in their hands and have a go.
No pressure. No experience needed. Just a chance to try something new.
Water polo is about much more than learning to throw a ball in a pool. Kids build confidence, fitness, teamwork and communication skills, while making friends and having fun.
For some children, it becomes a sport they simply love playing with their friends. For others, it can lead to Friday night competition, tournaments, GCWP Academy and representative opportunities.
⭐ WHAT WILL THEIR FIRST SESSION BE LIKE?
They’ll join one of our regular Wednesday Junior Training sessions at Trinity Lutheran College, alongside other GCWP juniors.
Our coaches will get them involved at their own level. They’ll have a go at:
- getting a water polo ball in their hands
- passing, moving and shooting
- meeting the coaches and other junior players
- learning a little about how the game works
- having fun in the pool
Come & Try is available for two weeks, so they have more than one chance to settle in, get involved and see if water polo is for them.
⭐ WHEN & WHERE?
Come & Try takes place during our regular Wednesday Junior Training, so your child gets to experience what being part of GCWP is really like.
📅 Wednesdays during school terms
📍 Trinity Lutheran College Senior Campus, Ashmore Road
🕔 First session: from 5:15pm
What to bring:
Swimmers • Towel • Water bottle • Goggles
We’ll take care of the water polo equipment.
Arrive a little early, introduce yourselves to the coach and let them know it's your child's first session. We'll take it from there.
⭐ READY TO GIVE WATER POLO A GO?
If they can swim 25 metres confidently and are comfortable in deep water, bring them along and let them try it for themselves.
There are just two quick things to do before their first session:
1. REGISTER FOR COME & TRY
Choose the Wednesday session you'd like to attend.
2. SET UP THEIR FREE BRONZE MEMBERSHIP
For insurance purposes, all Come & Try participants need a free Bronze membership with Water Polo Queensland before getting in the pool.
It’s free and covers your child for their Come & Try sessions. Simply select “Bronze All School ONLY” when registering.

And that's it! Once you've done those two things, you're all set.
We'll see you at the pool!
⭐ AND IF THEY LOVE IT?
Fabulous! They can keep playing!
Our Junior program brings kids from across the Gold Coast together for Wednesday training and Friday night games, with plenty of opportunities to make friends, build their skills and develop as they go.
As they progress, there are also opportunities for tournaments, GCWP Academy and representative water polo.
But you don’t need to worry about any of that yet. We’ll explain everything you need to know when the time comes.
For now, just let them jump in and see if they love water polo, like we do! 💙
