Every player has a club behind them. Now referees do too.
The home of Australian water polo referees. We develop, mentor and back referees, and help clubs find them.
Formally recognised by Water Polo NSW, with recognition from Water Polo Australia under way. Independent and referee-led. Not a union, and not a breakaway body.
