Commonwealth Water Polo Championships 2014
Commonwealth Water Polo Championships 2014
Welcome Welcome to the third Commonwealth Water Polo Championships. I would particularly like to welcome the players and staff of the twelve teams representing the eight competing nations.
I am delighted to welcome you to Aberdeen Sports Village for the Commonwealth Water Polo Championships 2014. We are thrilled to host such a high profile competition as the first event in our brand new Aquatics Centre and to showcase Aberdeen as the perfect venue for such a prestigious competition. This is a great chance for the people of the North East to experience a Commonwealth event in the heart of our City.
I am very pleased that Scotland has been able to host this tournament and would like to thank our sponsors and partners for their support and backing. Without them the Championships would not be as they are today.
Ken Fussell Championship Director, Chair Scottish Water Polo Committee
Hosting the ‘Homecoming’ Commonwealth Water Polo Championships in Aberdeen will offer a taste of the Commonwealth Games to communities in the North East, as well as inspire and mobilise the Water Polo fraternity across Scotland. In addition, the event, which has previously been held in both Manchester in 2002 and Perth in 2006, will further enhance Scotland’s event portfolio on the international stage. As Water Polo is not one of the sports being included in the 2014 Commonwealth Games, the Commonwealth Water Polo Championships provides the opportunity for Commonwealth nations to compete against each other. The event provides a unique chance for nations to compete against teams that they would not normally play. As a minority sport this opportunity is very significant, as the number of events that are open to these nations is limited.
We are confident that, like our acclaimed Sports Centre, our Aquatics Centre will prove to be a fantastic facility for the people of the North East, and we look forward to attracting many more international competitions. David Beattie Chief Executive, Aberdeen Sports Village
It is with great pleasure I welcome the Commonwealth Water Polo Championships 2014 to Aberdeen Sports Village Aquatics Centre. Aberdeen can take great credit for this aquatic discipline, as Aberdeen was the birthplace of the sport back in 1877. In fact, it was along the banks of the River Dee where people witnessed the first ever game taking place at the Bon Accord Festival. In those days, members of Bon Accord Swimming Club would have had strong river currents to contend with, however, the International teams visiting Aberdeen this week have this wonderful world class facility to compete in, and everything that comes along with the Sports Village.
The Scottish Water Polo Committee and the Water Polo community are committed to the development of Water Polo in Scotland, from Mini Polo in primary schools through the development of junior players up to the Scottish National Squads and beyond to GB representation. We see the Commonwealth Water Polo Championships as a fundamental boost to the development strategy. Finally I would like to thank the staff, officials and volunteers who have dedicated their time to enable the Championships to take place. I would like to give a special thanks to Forbes Dunlop, CEO of Scottish Swimming, who has worked closely with us to ensure the project is a success, and Jenni Fraser from Visit Aberdeen, along with the staff from Scottish Swimming and Aberdeen Sports Village.
Councillor George Adam Lord Provost of Aberdeen
Last but not least I would like to thank the Scottish Water Polo volunteers whose hard work enabled these Championships to run, as well as the successful development and domestic competitions that run year in, year out.
www.scottishswimming.com/cwpc2014
With Water Polo having evolved over the years to become a world-class sport, it is very apt for Aberdeen to work with our respective partners to bring these Championships home. This event reflects our commitment to fulfilling our ambitions in the City’s Sport and Physical Activity Strategy, Fit for Future, where we are committed to raising the profile of sport in Aberdeen, and encouraging people to be involved in sport whether competing, officiating, volunteering or supporting local heroes. I am confident that the Council’s investment in this event will contribute towards creating a lasting legacy of Water Polo and other aquatic sports in the city. This will be achieved through Scottish Water Polo, Scottish Swimming, council officers and local partners including Aberdeen Sports Village and Sport Aberdeen working together to explore all aspects of development activity that can be delivered during and post this event.
Good luck to all the teams and I hope you have a wonderful and memorable experience in the Championships and in Aberdeen and Scotland. I am sure you will form new friendships within our Water Polo family that will be with you for years to come.
2
I wish all the teams involved the very best of luck and hope you thoroughly enjoy watching the action.
I hope the competitors from around the world enjoy their visit to Aberdeen and their experience of competing in the fantastic new Aquatics Centre. The Championships bring an exciting spectating opportunity for citizens of and visitors to Aberdeen, and I hope people of all ages and abilities will be inspired to participate in Water Polo and other aquatic sports. Perhaps in the not too distant future, we will witness local athletes from Aberdeen representing the city and Scotland in Water Polo.

Commonwealth Water Polo Championships 2014
A year of Brilliant Moments
The History of Water Polo Aquatic Polo, Aquatic Handball, Water Baseball and Football in the Water were some of names used for team games played with a ball in water in the early 1870s. Rules varied and there were no inter-club competitions. Glasgow’s swimming clubs pioneered the incipient development of Water Polo. William Wilson, Baths Master at Arlington Baths Club, Glasgow, drew up rules for Aquatic Football in 1876 at the request of the President of Bon Accord SC, Aberdeen. It was played at the club’s annual swimming championships in the River Dee in 1877 but the moving water affected play. Wilson took it indoors, adjusting the rules, transforming it from a rough and tough scramble into a more skilful activity and inter-club matches became common in Glasgow by 1880. Awarding trophies, clubs organised inter-club competitions, but its initial popularity was consolidated after 1886, when the Associated Swimming Clubs of Glasgow (ASCG), the forerunner of the Scottish Amateur Swimming Association (SASA), inaugurated the Aquatic Football Challenge Cup, which is still being competed for today. The inaugural annual England vs. Scotland fixture took place in 1890 at Kensington Baths, London. Scotland won 4—0, with the skill of the Scots more than compensating for the heaviness of the English.
This year, Scotland welcomes the world and you’re invited to the party! Packed with brilliant moments, the year of Homecoming will serve up a fantastic mix of events and festivals that celebrates the very best of Scotland: our breath-taking scenery, our mouth-watering food and drink, as well as our rich culture, creativity and ancestral heritage. Throughout the year and across the country, you’ll be very welcome so join us and be part of Homecoming Scotland 2014!

4 Facts about Water Polo 1
2
Basics of the Game
Water Polo in Scotland
The game is four quarters of eight minutes. Each team has six field players and a goal keeper and six substitutes. All the players, except the goal keeper, move up and down the pool playing both offense and defence similar to basketball. However, unlike basketball, if a player is holding the ball a defender can do nearly anything to them, including pushing them underwater. The referee’s job is very difficult because not only must they observe from the side deck of the pool, but they cannot see what the players are doing underwater. Games are fast paced and teams often combine to score 15—30 goals per game.
There are currently 18 Clubs and seven Universities that play in Scotland, and the sport is growing quickly. There is also a small-sided game called ‘5-a-sides’ that is often played to adapt to the smaller and narrower Victorian Pools of Scotland.

The Toughest Sport in the World
Water Polo as a National Sport
Bleacherreport.com just rated Water Polo the world’s toughest sport over Australian Rules Football, Boxing and Rugby, because not only is it a highly physical contact sport demanding incredible stamina, but also ‘the game itself is supplemented by the need to not drown during it.’
Water Polo is hugely popular in Eastern European Countries and along the Mediterranean and is often considered a national sport in countries such as Hungary, Serbia, Montenegro and Malta.

About Scottish Water Polo
Team Manager Brenda Tate
Coach Neal Rayner Theo Bampouras
Players Scottish Water Polo is enjoying a period of significant growth and development. Since the last Commonwealth Water Polo Championships in 2006, registered membership numbers have grown from 160 to nearly 600. Our domestic calendar has grown with over 200 games per year now being played as well as three teams competing in the British Water Polo League. We have also focussed on the introduction to Water Polo through Mini Polo in schools. Last year our annual Schools Championships had over 200 children competing. To accommodate our growth, we have secured increased access to deep-water pools for weekly training and competition, as well as our Scottish Development Squad. We are working with Aberdeen Sports Village and Tollcross International Swimming Centre to secure more Water Polo time as these pools become available. Our National Squad training and competition opportunities have also increased significantly. We have monthly training sessions and at least two international competitions for each squad; Senior Squads will have three or four international competitions each this year.
We have always had a dual aim in hosting the Commonwealth Water Polo Championships; firstly to deliver a fantastic event for the players and nations involved; secondly to use the Championships to raise the profile of Water Polo in Scotland and accelerate the development of the sport, attracting new players, establishing new clubs and strengthening existing ones. As a result of the Championships we have been able to secure additional funding to help support this development in Aberdeen and Grampian. We are continuing to explore other options to access more money to support the development across all parts of Scotland.
Sarah Thomson Holly Campbell Nicola Tate Julia Mackay Laura Mathewson Vicky Witko Fiona Greer Gael Logan Captain Laura Fox Louise Fox Alison Tate Chantal Guillot
The growth and development of the sport has been supported by the employment of a Water Polo Development Officer, Neal Rayner, who has worked with the volunteers and Clubs to develop the infrastructure which allows growth. As this work develops further we are increasingly working with the different staff and teams within Scottish Swimming, including the Regional Swimming Development Managers, who are supporting clubs with their needs around increased water time, links with swimming clubs and general club development through poloMark.
Reserves Hannah Edwards Jess Ivy
Scottish Water Polo is very fortunate to have a dedicated team of volunteers working locally and nationally to support all of this development. With our ambitious plans we always need more support, so if you can help in any way, please get in touch. Regards Ken Fussell Chair, Scottish Water Polo Committee Photo  Ian MacNicol
