Water Polo

Water polo is the alternative to cricket in the summer season and what nicer sport to play in the sweltering Grahamstown February. Graeme caters for an open team and an U15 team. The first team, made up of a selection of Grade 10, 11 and 12 boys approaches all competition with spirit and gusto. There are many dedicated and crafty players and they have many opportunities to use their skills.

The first team takes part in Grey High School Festival and the St Andrew's Festival, but the highlight of every season is the Vides' Tournament hosted by Selborne College in East London. Here Graeme competes against the top water polo-playing schools in the country and holds their own. As more schools bring this sport into their curriculum many more tournaments are being established.

The U15s are offered similar opportunities and really enjoy learning the game. They too take part in many competitions and also look forward to their big tournament, also hosted by Selborne College, which takes place at the beginning of the September holiday each year. For many U15s, this is the perfect time to display how much they have learned and a marvellous time is usually had by all.
