Club Contacts, Fixture Secretaries (contact details as at 12 Feb2015 below)and Officials are requested to read all of the following.

Please select the appropriate menu link for league standings, fixtures schedule and results.

Fixture Secretaries

You will need to login to your respective League and Key Stage League Administration areas to offer and confirm fixtures, including dates, times and venues. To minimise the likelihood of fixtures being forgotten, all matches have been pre-inserted with fixture date 30 Jun 2015 (the last day of the season) together with TBA in the Comments field (see ^ below for exception)

Fixture Secretaries should edit  

• the date and time of existing respective entries
• edit the venue as appropriate
• overtype TBA with Offered or Confirmed as appropriate in the Comments field.

Please complete your Club's full fixture schedules promptly and no later than 30 Sep 2014 to enable club coaches, players, officials, volunteers, press and sponsors to prepare their schedules. Even if your team intends to play its fixtures later in the 10 month season, please input the schedule NOW to avoid embarrassing the League and opposing Clubs by forfeiting games.

At this stage we are assuming all 2013/14 season teams wish to compete in 2014/15 (see fees and special new season offer re KS2* below) providing any outstanding amounts due from 2013/14 have been paid by 31 Aug 2014.. If you become aware that

• a Club team intends not to enter or
• another club wishes to enter a team, or
• a club wishes to enter an additional team, or
• a club has changed one or more team Fixtures Secretaries,

please contact admin@dorsetwaterpolo.org IMMEDIATELY so that we can

• email our contacts, 
• update the scheduling software to add or remove fixtures and
• grant / remove access to league administration areas

as required.

No doubt many girls and boys will have enjoyed and have been inspired by watching water polo at the Commonwealth Games Championships held in Glasgow in 2014. We welcome Clubs wishing to support the development of Junior Ladies and Youth competitions as mini-tournaments - clubs are invited to confirm their interest to admin@dorsetwaterpolo.org.

Club Responsibilities

League Fees - Clubs will be invoiced in Aug 2014 £10 per particpating team  for payment by 30 Sep 2014.

* Recognising the importance of acquiring and developing ball handling and positional skills from an early age, DWPL has agreed that Clubs entering a KS2 team  will be able to enter additional teams in the 2014/15 KS2 League for free.

A list of non-paying Clubs will be circulated to Fixture Secretaries.

Clubs are reminded that they are responsible for registering players, officials and coaches with the ASA in the correct membership categories. Fixture Secretaries are required to supply

• squad lists (Team - Full Name, DoB, ASA Membership No) for their competing teams to John Bolton by 30 Sep 2014 and
• similarly updated information as the season progresses.

DWPL encourages Clubs to provide the numbers of players, broken down by gender and age for each League for which they may be eligible to compete. We will then consider the possibility of  enabling players who may not otherwise get opportunities to play regularly to multi-register with a 'lead' Club to form a 'nomad' team. Clubs are reminded that players cannot turn out for more than one Club to which they are affiliated in the same League so please bear that in mind when selecting squads. 

^ Home and away fixtures between teams of the same Club in a division must be played by 31 March 2015.

Home clubs are responsible for sending correctly completed match result sheets with player information (forenames AND surnames, please)  to John Bolton within 7 days of the fixture.

Failure to supply squad lists and all match sheets may result in

• games being forfeited
• insurance being invalidated
• possible expulsion of teams / Clubs from the League.

Dorset Shield

Fixture Secretaries are responsible for ensuring the prelimiary round and final are played by 31 Dec 2014 once the participating Senior Men's team draw has been made.

Officials

All clubs are reminded of the need to use appropriately qualified match officials and wherever possible, referees not affiliated to competing teams. Travelling expenses should be offered to visiting match referees and these amounts should be budgeted for by host Clubs eg when setting session fees / specatator fees.

Please note that original software calculations and sorting rules were modified to produce the League Tables . Placing anomalies may therefore occur. If you discover any, please send details to admin@dorsetwaterpolo.org. Ultimately placings will be determined in accordance with 9a) to 9e) of the League Constitution.
