Turbo SA continues their Development Program

Blue Downs heated indoor facility

Turbo SA owners, Paul Martin and Grant Mackenzie, have a long history and unrivalled passion when it comes to the development of and giving back to the great game of water polo.  The latest Turbo Development Program is running at the Blue Downs heated indoor pool and takes place on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 09:00 - 11:00.  

Mini game to end off with some fun!

This program will be running for the next 2 weeks and is aimed at introducing the youth of the area to the basics and FUN of water polo.

Development is a two way thing in the eyes of the Turbo guys. This can be seen in how they include members of The Water Polo Academy as part of the coaching staff at all Turbo Development clinics and programmes.

Basics, Basics, Basics!

Turbo-Official USA Kit Supplier Press Release

USA Water Polo, the national body for the sport in America, has signed up Spanish equipment manufacturer Turbo as its official outfitting partner until 2013.  The two-year deal will see the company provide water polo suits, caps, apparel and robes for all of the United States’ national teams, as well as tailor-made products for the country’s water polo Olympic Development Programme. As a result, Turbo outfits will be worn at several major tournaments including this year’s FINA World Championship in Shanghai and the London 2012 Olympics; replica outfits will become available at a later date.  In addition to the outfitting deal, Turbo will be granted increased exposure in the official USA Water Polo publication, Skip Shot, and become title sponsors of three annual events in the water polo calendar.

Turbo is a company that puts water polo first, which is the kind of commitment and experience that we wanted for our national teams, our Olympic Development Program and for all of our clubs and members,” he said.

Former American player, and joint chief executive of Turbo, Wolf Wigo added: “I am very excited for Turbo to be the official outfitting partner with USA Water Polo, I know from my playing days on the Olympic team that my teammates and I always hoped that Turbo could be our sponsor because Turbo is the best quality product in the water polo market.  I am very proud that the Men's and Women's National teams will be competing in Turbo gear, which I hope can provide a competitive edge towards the goal of Olympic Gold.”

Turbo Charged Turtles Triumphant

For the second week in a row the Treading Turtles pulled one out the bag by beating the much favoured Baulking Blowfish.  In their previous encounter the Blowfish swam away easy winners with a 10 - 2 scoreline.  From the start the Turtles came out meaning business with 2 quick goals.  The Blowfish seemed to get frustrated and resorted to shooting from all ares of the pool but nothing could get past the Turtles goalie Daniel Van Zyl.  The game ended 6 - 2 to the Turtles, making them the Winners of the Inaugural Turbo Action Polo Tournament.

Earlier in the evening saw the Plate Final.  This was an extremely closely contested game with the score ending up a 6 goals all at full time.  This took us to the 3rd penalty shootout of the Tournament.  After 5 penalties each, the Sculling Squids ended up winning the Plate Final 5 - 4 on penalties.

Congratulations and THANK YOU to the players, parents and spectators who played a massive part in making the Inaugural Turbo Action Polo Tournament so successful!
