The Gold Coast's reputation for sporting excellence is set to be enhanced with the arrival of another high profile sporting team.
The Australian women’s water polo team will arrive on the coast for a training camp from 15th February.
As Head Coach Aleks Osadchuk explains, the squad are not strangers to the city, "it has become a tradition for us to train on the Gold Coast at least once each year,” he said, adding “the facilities are great and Sport GC is very helpful in organising our visit.”
Sport Gold Coast (Sport GC) is an initiative of Gold Coast City Council and is focused on promoting the city’s sporting facilities and attracting high performance teams.
“Our aim is to position the Gold Coast as the country’s premier high performance sporting location,” said Council Economic Development Manager, Grayson Perry.
“While the women’s water polo team are regulars to the Gold Coast, we will take the opportunity to show the coaches and management team additional facilities and accommodation options throughout the city, in the hope they come back more often."
The 20-strong team, along with several coaching staff, will conduct their training at Southport Pool and the Sports Super Centre as they continue their preparations for the Commonwealth Championships to be held in India in April.
The St Kilda AFL team trained on the Gold Coast during December while the Socceroos will be based on the Coast from 23rd February in the lead up to their Asian Cup qualifier against Indonesia in March.
