Sedgefield Water Polo Club would like to congratulate Kyle Alderson and Gregor Marsland who have been selected for the GB U17 boys water polo squad. This is a fantastic achievement for the boys, who started their water polo journeys at ages 5 and 8 respectively. They have progressed through the talent system, representing both Club and Region before being selected for England National Academy, Midlands Talent Centre and now the GB squad.
The Club is very proud of these 2 young men who are following in the footsteps of previous Sedgefield players who have represented their Country. The hard work starts now for Kyle and Gregor, who will be attending monthly weekend camps held at various locations across the country, including Coventry, Walsall and London. Their long term aim is to be selected for the U17 final squad which will be participating in the European Qualifiers being held in 2025.
Head Coach, Adam Woods, commented “it is fantastic to see two of our players selected to be part of the GB U17 squad. They are both very committed to their training and have a lot of potential to do well. I wish them both the best of luck as they begin their GB journey.”
In addition to Junior and Senior sessions, Sedgefield Water Polo Club now offers a beginner session at Newton Aycliffe Leisure Centre on a Saturday afternoon for those wishing to try this fun and exciting sport.
