Your New District Teams

YOUR DISTRICT. YOUR TEAM. YOUR COMMUNITY.

From the 2026/27 season, every GCWP junior will belong to one of four districts: Northern Dolphins, Central Mudcrabs, Coastal Crocs or Southern Stingrays.

Your district gives your child a team, colours and community to belong to throughout the season. They’ll still train and develop alongside juniors from across the Gold Coast on Wednesdays, then represent their district in Friday night competition.

⭐ YOUR DISTRICT

Your district is predominantly based on where you live and/or go to school, with final district allocations confirmed by GCWP after the Friday night trials (9 & 16 October).

Not sure which district your child belongs to? That's okay. GCWP will confirm your child's district as part of the allocation process.

⭐ WHAT YOUR DISTRICT MEANS

Being part of a district gives every junior player a team to belong to and an identity to be proud of. Whether they're a Croc, Dolphin, Mudcrab or Stingray, we want every player to feel proud to represent their district and be part of the wider Gold Coast Water Polo community.
