The 12U program offers year-round practice, participating in scrimmages, local and travel leagues, and tournaments. With three dedicated training days for water polo, there are also optional swim training practices available with Coach Kristin Kredell. Sessions for 2025-2026 are available, and new members can join at any time with pro-rated fees.
