IPT 2019
As you are no doubt aware, the IPT this year will be staged in Johannesburg from 7 to 11 December. We are planning to fly the team there and back and accommodate them in hotels reasonably close to their playing venues. The list of venues is available on the SWPSA website.
The tour costs to the IPT are estimated to be R10 000 per player. This includes flights, accommodation, local transport and meals plus in-game nutrition and hydration requirements.
We understand this is a big number for many families and, if your child is likely to make a team, please start to make plans. The good news is that the IPT will be in Cape Town next year and tournament costs should be dramatically less.
As an Executive we are painfully aware of the financial stress water polo places on parents. Rest assured, we do everything we can to minimise the cost while still ensuring that Team WP travels and is accommodated safely.
And so the preparations begin…
