Provincial High-Performance Program
The MWPA has brought back its Provincial Team and in 2026 is launching a new Program for Excellence.
The Program for Excellence offers programming to our aspiring young athletes, born in 2008 to 2015, who are on track to become elite athletes and represent Manitoba at the 15U, 17U and 19U Canadian Championships while providing a solid development path to Canada’s National Teams and the international stage.
The Provincial Program for Excellence will start November 1, 2026 and run until July 11, 2027.
​
All interested athletes must join by October 25, 2026.
The only opportunity to join the program after October 25 is if the athlete is participating in our school league and has just started playing water polo - and shows real potential in the sport. These athletes will receive an invitation to join by January 1, 2027.
