President - John Malvestuto 

Have you met John, one of the many driving forces behind NYP Dragons? As a dad of three, a business owner, and an active member of various community groups, John still finds time to lead our club with passion and dedication.

John is committed to building stronger connections across the club, especially with our juniors. He gives up his Sundays to train and support our juniors at their matches, creating a welcoming and encouraging environment for them to grow.

He also spearheaded the introduction of FlippaBall, which will be returning in Terms 2 and 3 at Aqualink Nunawading.

SECRETARY- Pip Barclay 

In 2024, Pip took on the role of treasurer for NYP Dragons, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her hard work and dedication. She has done an amazing job sorting out the club’s financial status, ensuring we’re on track for future success.

Pip is no stranger to NYP Dragons. A long-standing member of our club, she began as a junior and is now a key player in our Women’s SL1 team. Her talent and passion for water polo have also seen her represent Victoria on multiple occasions – an incredible achievement!

Beyond the pool, Pip has been a driving force in building a cohesive and vibrant club culture. She has played a key role in co-organising senior social events and fostering connections across teams, helping to make our club stronger and more united than ever.

Pip will now take on the role of secretary for the 2026-2027 season.
