The Flippa Ball™ Novelty Event is a one-day stand alone tournament targeted at young, active adults without any prior experience at Water Polo. It seeks to expose the sport of Flippa Ball™ and in turn, Water Polo to a wider audience within Singapore.
Why the Flippa Ball™ Novelty Event?
Water Polo is one of Singapore's most established sports, judging by the 23 consecutive Gold Medals won at the SEA Games. Despite that, there is little public interest in the sport; people are just more inclined towards other seemingly more glamorous sports dominated by foreign-born talents. However, things seem to be taken a slight turn, with the recent exploits of the National Water Polo team at the Laos SEA Games and 'Polo Boys' finally garnering some nationwide attention.
Flippa Ball™ is a sport taking off in various parts of the world, aimed at introducing the sport of Water Polo to beginners. We at teamNUS Water Polo see this as a valuable opportunity not only to promote our sport, but also to campaign for the development of local talents and revitalize the sporting scene within Singapore.
When and Where will the Flippa Ball™ Novelty Event be held, and what can participants expect?
It will be held on the 16th of January, Saturday, from 12 -4 pm* at the NUS SRC Pool.
* Safety briefing at 11am.
It will be a day of endless fun! All participants will receive an entry package consisting of a shirt, towel and other apparels, not to mention a very attractive goodie bag courtesy of our sponsors. There will be $1000 worth of cash vouchers and other prizes up for grabs. And most importantly, it is FREE to sign up.
