SPLASHBALL

Splash Ball is focused to help the new athlete (12 years and younger) understand the basic fundamentals of water polo starting with egg-beating. Proper technique of passing and shooting are introduced along with mini scrimmages to help them better understand the game of water polo. Once our coaching staff and Head of Development detemine that they are ready for more of a challenge and are able to demonstrate basic water polo skills well, we graduate them to the 'Futures' program. We have two Splashball classes: Splashball 1 and Splashball 2, but please note that these classes are identical. The only difference are the days/times of practices in order to best work around our athletes' schedules and limit any waitlists.
