Inflatable water polo goals and custom-made water polo playing fields from Packaworld International will be used to create a one-of-a-kind experience for everyone taking part.<\/p>\n<p>The Karratha Water Polo Association pioneered the use of Packaworld\u2019s \u2018Packagoals\u2019 and inflatable water polo fields for \u2018ocean polo\u2019 during a popular \u2018come and try\u2019 day in October, resulting in amazing drone footage and an excellent event for the water polo community.<\/p>\n<p>Drone footage of the event can be seen below:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-PyuGNe8rTE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Association\u2019s President <strong>Justin Angove<\/strong> said the new inflatable fields allowed Australians to play in new locations and explore their country while enjoying the game they love.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe inflatable water polo fields are helping us to reinvent water polo and bring a sense of adventure to the game,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing outdoors improves the experience. It gives the sport a real family vibe, and showcases what Karratha has to offer. It\u2019s also a huge opportunity to engage with people who haven\u2019t seen water polo before and get them involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Angove said other adventure water polo events were planned, including an event in Western Australia\u2019s Millstream Chichester National Park at the remarkable Python Pool water hole, which is surrounded by cliffs on three sides.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s1aUffHs5RA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In New South Wales, former Australian national water polo representative <strong>Scott Nicholson<\/strong> is planning to use two of Packaworld\u2019s custom water polo fields off the Sydney coastline during the first Beach Water Polo Fours tournament on 16 and 17 December.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Nicholson is a former member of the Australian Junior Water Polo and University squads, and the organiser of the Beach Water Polo Fours tournament. He expects the informal two-day event to attract up to 300 players a day for a truly unique water polo experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we had to set up lane ropes and metal goals, the cost would have been prohibitive. Now we\u2019ve got a system where it\u2019s going to take us about 10-15 minutes on the day. It\u2019s going to make things so much easier, and we see this as an idea we will be able to take anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Nicholson said there will be a festival atmosphere at the tournament, with good food and great music. While wind and waves could \u201cmake things interesting\u201d, shorter field sizes would make games accessible for players at any level of fitness, he said.<\/p>\n<p>The event will be held at Hordern\u2019s Beach in Bundeena, set within Royal National Park south of Sydney. Bundeena is accessed by ferry, and boats will be able to moor for spectators viewing the tournament, while friends and families enjoy food and fun on the beach.<\/p>\n<p><em>Press release courtesy of\u00a0Packaworld.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imagine playing water polo in a remote patch of ocean 20 kilometres off the coast of Western Australia or enjoying a major beach water polo tournament on the Sydney shoreline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":284382,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,12],"tags":[51833,64652,64655,64653,64654,54416],"class_list":["post-284381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-water-polo","tag-australia-water-polo","tag-beach-water-polo","tag-justin-angove","tag-ocean-water-polo","tag-scott-nicholson","tag-water-polo"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
