PAST EVENTS
VYPA CUP - Junior Championship Tournament
10th-11th July 2021, edgewater lake canoe polo field, maribyrnong
The Victorian Youth Polo Academy (VYPA) is looking to host the inaugural VYPA CUP on the 10th-11th of July. The VYPA cup will be a championship event open to all youth, U21 and University students from around Australia and overseas. This is intended to be a great competition aimed at developing the next generation of Canoe Polo athletes from around Australia and Oceania/Asia.
The VYPA Cup will be a round-robin style tournament hosted over the 10th and 11th of July. These dates align with 2nd term school holiday dates throughout Australia. The tournament will offer age categories of U14, U18 and a combined category of U21/University teams. All team entries are welcome, whether they are recognised state teams, club-based teams, ad-hoc teams, or international teams.
In the week prior to the cup, there will be a 3-day U18 National Development Camp. This camp is aimed at those looking to take their canoe polo-playing to the next level, focusing on developing high-level individual skills and team-based tactics. The camp will also feature a number of off-water sessions that will have guest speakers discussing topics including dietary requirements, physiotherapy, strength and conditioning, and mental wellbeing. The training camp will be open to all U18, U21 and University players and while the camp is aimed at providing a high-performance opportunity to young players, athletes still developing their skills will also be catered for in individual and group-based on-water sessions.
