Awards

Sunfish Water Polo Values

The Sunfish Water Polo Values define what we expect our coaches to build into our program. The players that receive awards should be a reflection of these values.
 
Water Polo Excellence from Experience
Our coaching staff will provide top level coaching to develop our players at all levels. We can develop players from the introduction to the sport and continue to develop their skills to the highest levels available in the province.
Teamwork
Water Polo is a team sport and relies on individuals to work together and rely on each other. No one player can make a team successful. The Sunfish will work to develop players that recognizes the value in a team.
Sportsmanship
Sportsmanship is how other clubs view our club. Sportsmanship is determined by each player when they are in the pool and outside the pool. Sportsmanship is “character”, this shows up when times get tough and emotions are at their highest. The Sunfish will work to develop sportsmanship in all it’s players because it doesn’t matter if you win if you don’t win with sportsmanship.
 
Hosted Tournaments

During the summer, the Sunfish will host a tournament for each age group we have teams. The team that wins each tournament will be awarded a trophy and a medal for each member of the team. There will be medals for each member of the team that come in second and third place.

In addition a Team Spirit award will be given to the club attending the tournament that shows the best team spirit and sportsmanship. Our club will strive to be a leader in team spirit and sportsmanship but will be excluded from winning the award.

Summer Awards Banquet

At the end of the summer season, the Sunfish host an awards night. Each age group will receive two awards, one for MVP and a second for Most Improved.
 
The MVP award will be determined by the following criteria:
·         Sportsmanship
·         Team work
·         Leadership
·         Attendance
 
 
The Most Improved award is to recognize the newer members that have shown the most improvement throughout the season.
