Reminder, each team must enter BOTH the qualifier and national event in order for the registration to be deemed valid. A minimum 50% deposit is required at time of registration.

SafeSport
In order for a coach to be eligible to be listed on a roster, he/she must have completed the SafeSport certification training online. Results are being updated weekly. Please feel free to email the certificate to certifications@usawaterpolo.org. Due to the high volume, please allow 48 hours for processing.

Club admins have the capability to view coach certification status. After logging in to USAWP membership account, select “Club Members” from the Club Admin menu. Choose the “Coach/Referee” member tab and “current” in the drop-down. List can be exported. There will be two columns for SafeSport on the right:

1.) If the word SafeSport is listed with a date in the following column, it is complete

2.) If there is the word SafeSport (with no date) the coach is in progress

3.) If both columns are blank, the coach has not begun the process

Rosters
Effective immediately, team managers will no longer be listed as an option for national and sanctioned events. All “staff” members on the bench with athletes must have all current certifications on file, background screening, First Aid, CPR, and SafeSport. A head coach must be selected to a roster. There is also room for one assistant coach and an additional three spaces available for alternate coaches. Alternate coaches may be used when teams share coaches among multiple teams. ID checks prior to each game will continue to confirm the coach(es) present for each game. Should a coach receive a red card during a game and no other certified coach from the roster is available to replace him/her, it will be deemed a forfeit. This rule applies to both national and sanctioned events.

10&U and 12&U Age Group Rule Modifications
Please review the 10&U and 12&U rule modifications. These changes have been implemented in order to help with the overall development of our sport at the youth level and will be played at 2015 Junior Olympic Qualification Tournaments and the 2015 Junior Olympics. There is a one-page document with examples, as well as a video to help understand the modifications. All information can be found on the Rules page: usawaterpolo.org/resources/rules-ethics.html.

Club Membership
Club grace period ended on March 1st. All clubs who have not renewed for the 2015 membership year have been moved into a “Lapsed” status and will need to renew immediately to allow athletes to affiliate with the club.

Changes to Club Affiliation
A minor change was made to the affiliation policy listed in the Conduct of Championships governing all national events, including Junior Olympics. New this year an athlete’s club affiliation is locked once rostered for a Zone Qualification tournament. If an athlete is not rostered for a Zone Qualification tournament he/she must affiliate with club of choice no later than July 1.

LOS ANGELES, CA – June 28 – USA Water Polo’s Coastal California Zone (CCA) Announces Roster for Upcoming 48th International Children’s (Summer) Games to be held in Lake Macquarie, Australia December 6th – 11, 2014.

CCA Zone Chair Lori Gentry and Head Coach Alex La have assembled a roster featuring athletes from several of the zone’s top clubs. The Team will represent the City of Los Angeles as they compete in the largest multi-sport international youth games recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

NSW Minister for Sport, Graham Annesley, said: “The Games bring together an alliance of cities and individuals from around the world who share a common goal of forming friendships and promoting health and wellbeing, cultural exchange and education through sport.”

CCA Zone Chair, Lori Gentry, said: “This is a unique opportunity that was presented to the Coastal (California) Zone by the City of Los Angeles.  They have sent a Volleyball team for the last several years and this year wanted to send a Water Polo Team instead.  We are excited to give these young men an opportunity to showcase their talent on an international stage.”

Head Coach, Alex La, said: I’m excited for these young players, it’s not often you get out-of-country, international, experience at their age.”  “USAWP and the CCA Zone board is behind us all the way, we’ve got a lot to do, and it is time to get to work.”

Host city for the 2014 Games, Lake Macquarie City Council was the first Australian city to participate in the ICG, competing in San Francisco in 2008. Lake Macquarie is the first city in the Southern Hemisphere to host this event. Over the past five years, there have been close to 80 cities from more than 40 countries represented at each of the Games.

The Games will see participation by over 2,000 athletes between the ages of 12 and 15, as well as coaches, heads of delegation and city representatives. It is expected that more than 1,500 family members and friends will travel to the Games to support their teams.
