Introduce yourself

Hello team,
My name is Rees and I live in Melbourne. I have played underwater hockey a bit over a couple of years. It is ok but my true passion is Aqua Challange. I am yet to play it but it sounds really awesome.

Now all of a sudden things make sense :!:

Hi all,

My name is Crystal and i used to play a bit of UWH when i was younger (a long time ago now). I played for some state and national teams but it all seems somewhat irrelevent now. However, tonight I searched UWH on the web and came across this site. I have loved reading about you all and also having the chance to come up to speed with the new developments - such as Aqua Challnege. So, I am thowing my hat in the ring and offering an opinion... I am very excited about the move from Underwater Hockey to Aqua Challenge. I still tire of having to explain UWH to people when you mention that you play/played it. Aqua Challenge sounds fantastic and I am seriously considering dusting off my fins to have another crack. I believe that by moving away from UWH and embracing Aqua Challenge we can finally take up a position within the aquatic sports environment that we deserve... and become more recognised than water polo???

Hello My Name is Sven Harteveld
I never played on worlds. I’m not interested in that. I play for my own club. I train my club(junior and senior teams) Some off the selection players are very happy that i.m not interested :twisted:

And for the complete country of the Netherlands I’m the consultant in Underwaterhockey.
(answer questions, giving clinics, helping new clubs to start with underwaterhockey)

Next to that we always had problems to get new equipment in the first years when I started 10 years ago in my city with underwaterhockey. So we design and made our own equipment.(sticks and gloves) The last years many other teams and players want to have our equipment or let us made there sticks in our material. The glove we now are testing, a new sort off material and way to make it in series. But many other players are already interested. (that’s why we placed most off the sticks and training equipment we have made for our own or for other teams/countries on a site) Belle can tell you which site


I play now for 10 years underwaterhockey,
I’m a player (defender, midfield)
I’m the captain off my team
I’m a referee
I’m a underwaterhockey trainer for seniors and juniors
I’m the Netherlands underwaterhockey consultant.
Before that I played water polo and a swimmer.(for 20 years)
Next to that I’m a swimming instructor. For learning to swim.

And I am left handed. My twin brother is right handed.
We play in the same team.

Some pictures off me.

try to take the puck at this moment from me.

puck from the opponent.

I am a nice normal family.
Sometimes we are fat and shabby. Sometimes we are not.
Sometimes we kick Liams bum, but we usually wait until he is sick or injured.

:lol:

i'll see you soon, i have a wee cold and i hear you are in a stacked team.

i await your kickings with anticipation.
