Water Polo Team Selection for Regionals and Provincials |

The most difficult part of our role as coaches it to select players for the Regional Championships. We select these players with the expectation that this team will win these championships and go on to be competitive at the Provincial Championships. The Regional Team can have a maximum of thirteen players and two alternates and must have a minimum of three boys and 3 girls. In selecting the players for the Regional team we use a number of criteria, including: - Sufficient number of boys and girls to ensure our eligibility is not at risk in the event of illness or injury
- Player skills at prescribed positions: goalie, hole sets, 2m guards, outside shooters, etc.
- Player attitudes (in and out of the pool): positive, encouraging, focussed, passionate, respectful
- Work ethic throughout the season at games and practices
- Attendance at practices and tournaments throughout the season
- Overall competitiveness and determination
- Coachability
