AAP Award Recipients

BC Water Polo is pleased to announce this years BC Athlete Assistance Program Recipients.
Congratulations to all the athletes selected. (updated May 22, 2009)

The program recognizes high performance athletes who are participating in programs offered through a provincial sport organization or post secondary institution and competing in recognized national or international competitions to relieve some of the pressures associated with training and competition needs. This Program is funded and administered by the Provincial Government in support of BC athletes in reaching athletic goals and encouraging the pursuit of career aspirations.

In order to receive AAP funding each athlete must be available for provincial team selections and if selected, commit to train and represent BC and the sport in applicable competitions. In order to comply with the above expectations a letter will be sent to each athlete that requires a signature and then to be returned to the BC Water Polo Association office confirming their committment. Cheques will be distributed once the signed letters have been received.
