Packaworld is pleased to announce that its popular water polo goals and fields are now available through Australia’s leading water polo teamwear provider.

Delfina Sport has become an official distributor of Packaworld’s portable Water Polo Fields and Packagoals to the Australian water polo community.

Packaworld Chief Executive Peter Roberts said the deal was a positive step towards increasing awareness and availability of Packaworld’s water polo products, especially given Delfina Sport’s high profile as a supplier of superior quality swim gear in Australia.

Delfina Sport is well respected in the Australian market due to being owned and managed by aquatic athletes who have competed on the international circuit.

A New York water polo club has survived the impacts of Covid-19 and continues to “hustle” in and out of the water to win games and win over new fans of the sport.

Brooklyn Water Polo Club is one of three remaining clubs in the city of nine million following the pandemic. Founded by Carl Quigley in 1979, the club known to many as the ‘Brooklyn Hustle’ has continued to thrive with the help of a determined group of parent volunteers.

The club recently ordered two Junior Water Polo Packagoals to support and grow their youth programs made up of around 85 boys and girls – ages eight to 18. 

Michael Randazzo, Brooklyn Hustle club administrator, says the size and portability of the Packagoals were key factors in their decision.

The inaugural Delfina Cottesloe Cup beach water polo tournament was a scorching success.

Organised to raise awareness of water polo and bring University of Western Australia (UWA) and Fremantle together prior to the National League season, the 22 January tournament saw 210 players battling it out in 40C heat at Cottesloe Beach in Perth.

Local celebrities got amongst the action – some for their first ever water polo game – in an exhibition match featuring Australian water polo Olympians Andrew Ford, George Ford and Liz Parnov, and AFL players Sean Darcy, Griffin Logue and Will Schofield.

Two Packaworld inflatable water polo fields and two sets of Packagoals hosted six junior teams, eight senior teams as well as the celebrity match and Men’s National League clash between Fremantle and UWA.

An international beach water polo tournament in the United Arab Emirates has been making waves in the Middle East with Packaworld’s portable fields and goals.

The third International Beach Water Polo Tournament was held on 11 and 12 December in Dubai, hosted by The Dubai Camels Water Polo Club. 

Teams from across the Middle East, Europe and Central Asia travelled to the city to take part in an event that is as much about raising awareness of the game as it is about competition.

The annual tournament is held at the luxurious Breeze Bar and Grill on Palm Jumeirah – an artificial island shaped like a palm tree.

If you could play water polo anywhere in the world, where would you choose? Would it be near an island, in a lake deep in the forest, or in tropical waters with one of the grandest natural wonders of the world as a backdrop?

All of these are possible thanks to inflatable water polo equipment that allows players bring the game to new environments.

Water polo is no longer confined to swimming pools. Portable water polo goals and fields have made it easy for players to add a sense of adventure to the game by taking it to spectacular open-water settings. So, what are some of the most scenic and breath-taking locations the game has been taken to?
