Shore's Splash Ball Water Polo Program is an engaging entry point into the dynamic sport of water polo. The program focuses on teaching the essential skills of water polo while ensuring that participants have fun! The primary areas of focus include building strength, enhancing swimming abilities, improving stroke techniques, mastering ball handling, and grasping the basic principles of water polo. The team practices throughout the year and engages in various scrimmages with teammates as well as other local water polo splash teams, enriching the overall experience of gameplay.

 

To join, players need to swim 2 laps unaided and without stopping, utilizing freestyle with side breathing in under 2 minutes. If a child does not pass the swim test, swim lessons will be suggested to prepare them for returning to the Splash Ball program.
