State Aquatic Centre: LATEST NEWS

Over the past few months we (Jon Harmer & Peter Bayne) have been representing Water Polo at weekly User Group forums along with representatives from Swimming and Diving.

The forums have been looking at all aspects of what is required/needed by the three sports to run International/National and Local competitions from pool deck dimensions to office space from water depth to timing details.

The forums have just about completed their specifications and these will go to the builder for final drawings and costing's.

On Friday the 16th there is a formal launch on site where the turning of soil and the start of construction are likely to take place.

The process is running about 6 weeks late so the new facility will probably not be completed until mid/late 2010.

At this stage there has been no announcement as to the manner in which the centre will be managed so we are unable to advise clubs on how you will be able to utilise the new facility - as soon as a decision has been made we will advise clubs.

Regards

Jon Harmer & Peter Bayn

 IMPORTANT NOTICES
Schoolgirl's water polo this week 19 Nov 09

Schoolgirl's water polo has been cancelled again this Thursday 19 November. It will resume next Thursday 26 November for playoffs.
............................................................................................
For the information of all SAWPI members.

AS FINA have, in recent months, twice amended their ruling with regard to the 2 meter rule can I pass on the following as the rule currently stands. This information has been passed on by Mr John Whitehouse, Chairman FINA Technical Committee.

“In essence if the attacking player is inside 2 metres and is not taking an active part in the game then don't call offside however if the player is in a position to receive a pass and score then this must be called as does the situation if a player is inside 2 metres in a 6 on 5 as this "pulls" the defence towards the goals and clearly is an advantage to the attacking team.

When an attacking player is inside 2 metres on the extremities, simply disregard.”

It has been my observation that the above has not applied at some levels within SA Water Polo of late. Can I ask that players, coaches and most importantly all referees take the attached ruling on board and adjust accordingly where and if necessary.
Jon Harmer,
CEO,
