Your Committee

Kelly - Chairperson
I have been involved now in canoe polo since 1997 when I started playing. I started playing as a year 7 student. 
The most rewarding thing about being a part of this fantastic sport is the people. The kids are happy, the parents are supportive and the team I get to work with to make this sport what it is in Hawkes Bay is amazing!

Jed - Deputy Chairperson
​​​​​​​Hi, I'm Jed and I've been playing Canoe Polo for most of my life. I love the sport and passion of the people I've met through it.  I'm involved in some way at almost all levels of the sport so if you feel like a chat about it feel free to come to see me poolside.

Trelean - Year 8 Development Officer

Tony - Autumn League Co-ordinator

Tony was introduced to canoe polo when his daughter Arabella started playing in Year 6 and he became the team manager. He quickly grew to love the sport and continued to manage school teams. You will often find him on the side line with his camera taking photos for the Rubber Duckie Facebook page and more recently you may have seen him floundering around on the water as he discovers the sport isn’t as easy as he thought! Tony looks after our primary and intermediate age leagues.
