Fundraising Opportunities (Make It Possible Program)
Tsunami aims to support families by providing opportunities to ease the burden of club fees
through optional fundraising. The Tsunami Make It Possible Program is an excellent opportunity
to get athletes involved and help pay for their club fees. Throughout the season Tsunami will
offer a variety of fundraising initiatives which families can choose to participate in. With these
initiatives athletes can bank sales profits in their Athlete Account to use for club and other
Tsunami approved water polo expenses Here . Further information regarding the Make it
Possible Program will be communicated to all registered families in September.
For the 2022-23 season Tsunami hopes to offer at least four fundraising opportunities. If you are
willing to assist organize a club fundraiser or have any questions please contact our Fundraising
Coordinator directly.

Additional Information
WPC/AWPA Registration and Fees
In addition to our fees athletes will be responsible for registering through the new Water Polo
Canada database and paying their WPC and AWPA fees there. For the 2021-22 season this fee
will be $90 for NCL athletes.
Bridge Program athletes should already have paid this fee through their community club and
will not need to pay it again through Tsunami.
Tsunami will forward the link and instructions for this registration process during the first week
of September. This process includes uploading your Respect in Sport certification (details below)
so please complete that ASAP.
Rookie Week Trial
The Tsunami Rookie Week is designed for athletes completely new to the sport born in
2004-2008. Rookie Week athletes will have the opportunity to join Tsunami’s first week of
practice to meet the team/coaches and get a feel for water polo. This one week free trial will
take place from September 19 - 26.
Should you have any additional questions
regarding the trial opportunities please contact our head coach: Tsunami Head Coach (Marina Radu) – headcoach@tsunamiwaterpolo.com

TESTIMONIALS
VUKI RADOSAVLJEVIC
" The older I get, the more I realize how much I have learned from this sport and being immersed in the Tsunami culture. Tsunami has given a lot to be thankful for, many life skills I am proud of, and an abundance of memories and relationships I will always cherish. "
JULIA ZEBAK
" Being a member of Tsunami taught me not just how to play a sport, but how to be a better teammate. Tsunami emphasized the importance of the student portion of being student-athletes by encouraging us to succeed both in the classroom and in the pool. "
JOVAN KOSTANINOVIC
" Tsunami was more than just a club to me, it was a family. When we had games, we went to battle together as brothers. Not only did my team push me to be my best in the water, they also wanted the best for me outside of the sport and taught me skills that I’ll be able to use for the rest of my life. "
TAYLOR HALBAUER
" Being apart of Tsunami was one of the best experiences I have ever had. At Tsunami I met some of my best friends and got to be apart of an amazing team. Tsunami taught me how to embrace new challenges, overcome adversity, and work as a team. "
MILAN LABAN
" Tsunami has a huge place in my heart. Growing up playing with the club has taught me important lessons. For 15 years I have been with Tsunami and for 15 years I have worn the EWPC emblem with gratitude for everything that the club has provided me. "
LEXI MARISSINK
" I couldn’t have asked for a better experience at Tsunami. It is more than just my team, it is my family. At Tsunami you learn to trust and rely on others just as much as you learn to hold yourself accountable. I cant wait to see how this club develops in the future. "
