Description

ABOUT WATER POLO QUEENSLAND

Water Polo Queensland (WPQ) is the state peak body responsible for leading, supporting and delivering water polo throughout Queensland.

The Brisbane Metropolitan Junior Competition (BMJC) is a significant part of WPQ’s annual competition calendar. The 2025/26 season involved 272 teams, more than 2,300 athletes and almost 2,000 games across seven Brisbane venues.

THE PROSPECT

WPQ is inviting applications for casual Pool Coordinator positions for the 2026/27 BMJC season.

Pool Coordinators are WPQ’s representatives at their assigned competition venues.
