The Stingers are a competitive lesbian and gay waterpolo club in Sydney. Originally formed in October 2001 to represent Sydney in the 2002 Gay Games, the club is now incorporated and is a permanent fixture of the Sydney gay and lesbian sporting community, with two teams also playing in the NSW metropolitan competition.
The club’s mission is to provide an inclusive, friendly environment to learn and play waterpolo, train and socialise. Everyone is welcome regardless of experience, however to play a waterpolo game requires strong swimming skills and endurance. The club therefore encourages new and beginner players to join and actively develop and improve all the skills required.
Waterpolo is an all year round sport with two seasons; Summer season (Oct-Mar) and Winter season (May-Aug).
Waterpolo is a team sport that requires commitment and dedication from members and for 42 weeks of the year, both teams train at Ryde Aquatic Centre, Victoria Road Ryde every Saturday morning; play in the NSW Metropolitan League every Tuesday night in various locations throughout Sydney and also participate in swim training sessions at Cook+Philip pool every Thursday night.
The Club actively participates in community and social events in Sydney and has two primary sponsors; Aussie Boys (www.aussieboys.com.au) and The Colombian Hotel (www.colombian.com.au).
This winnter season, the Sydney Stingers has two teams competing in the NSW metropolitan league:
Team Black – Plays in the M4 division of the Sydney Metropolitan league every Tuesday night . Team Black is an experienced team and players in this team have years of solid waterpolo playing experience and look to increase their levels of fitness, continue to develop advanced waterpolo techniques and to compete in the M4 Metropolitan league and at other State and in International tournaments.
Team Red – Plays in the M5 division of the Sydney Metropolitan league every Tuesday night. Team Red is for players who are continuing to develop and enhance core skills, increase fitness levels while learning a serious sport in a fun environment and play in the M5 Metropolitan league.
Waterpolo Bootcamp – All Rookies and new members are required to complete a Stingers Waterpolo Bootcamp course before becoming a Club member. The Bootcamp is an intense 4 week waterpolo training coarse that teaches the basics of the sport and the rules of the game. Rookies are also encouraged to swim with the team on the Thursday night swimming sessions until the Bootcamp courses are available.
