All weekly results and draws are posted on the Canterbury Water Polo website. It is the responsibility of students to ensure they check the weekly draw and be poolside 15 minutes prior to your game start time so you can meet your coaches. Please arrive at games wearing your Heaton PE shirt over the top of your togs, so you are easily recognisable by your coaches. The weekly draw is accessible via the Canterbury Water Polo website:
