The Hibiscus Coast Water Polo Club is a family-oriented, friendly club on Brightside Road in Stanmore Bay, Whangaparāoa, which the club describes as a whānau first. It runs age-group teams from Under 12 up to open men's and women's teams, for both competitive and social play. Its teams play in an Auckland competition against local clubs, and its club teams compete nationally against clubs from across New Zealand. A Sunday League, which is run for fun, runs at various times through the year depending on the age-group calendar, and it is open to players of all skill levels, including teams from local schools and friends' teams. The club also runs coaching for Under 12 and Under 14 players, focused on skills, fitness and fun.
The club is run by a committee of volunteers, and volunteer officials run the Sunday League matches. The club says it needs volunteers in many roles, and that no committee role is required to help out. It also runs a referee pathway, from trainee to Coast mini polo referee, then club referee, then graded referee. It supports local clubs and schools with coaching and training sessions to build skills. Volunteers can email the club's chair.
