About the Dollard Water Polo Club

The Dollard Water Polo Club is one of the top water polo clubs in Canada. In 2009-2010, over 150 athletes are participating under the direction of 13 coaches led by Mentor Coach Pat Oaten, Coach of the Canadian Senior Women’s National Team. Three of our other coaches are involved with National or Provincial teams. Scott Smith is the Canadian Junior Men’s National Team assistant coach, Justin Oliveira is a co-coach of the Quebec Women’s Team and Brian Parillo is a co-coach of the Quebec Men’s Team.

Our club has teams playing at all levels from Mini to Senior. Dollard Water Polo teams have won numerous National Championships over the past few years, including four last year. This year the 16U, 18U, 22U and Senior groups are expected to participate in these Championships. The club will be hosting three tournaments during the year. The Autumn Classic will take place in November and the Nelson McDunnough Tournament in February.  We will also be hosting the Bantam Provincials in May.

Many of our players have been chosen to represent Quebec in international competition over the next 2 years. As well, some of the athletes are trying out to be chosen to represent Canada on the Canadian National Junior teams that will also participate in international competitions. Over the coming years some of these athletes will graduate to Canada’s National Senior teams. DDO Water Polo currently has over 16 athletes training at the National Training Centers in Calgary and Montreal.
