The Northcote Water Polo Club: The Krakens was established in 2018 and is a new, but rapidly growing club that is passionate about providing an inclusive club environment for anyone that wants to play water polo. 

We are training at the new Northcote Aquatic & Recreation Centre and at MLC (Methodist Ladies' College - Winter), and Ivanhoe Grammar School (Adults).  

We compete in the Victorian Water Polo Metro Competition (various locations around Melbourne, games on Sundays) and carnivals such as Ballarat and Geelong and interstate (Australian Youth Championships Perth 2025 or Brisbane 2026) .  

• Summer Comp Oct - April (Break from early Dec through Jan)  This is the main competition for clubs in Victoria.
• Autumn Comp School Term 2  Round robin series depending on team numbers

Junior Teams (9 to 18 yrs).

If you want to come along please get in touch.
