Water Polo

About our Water Polo Program

The MASRC is beyond excited to offer a Water Polo program for youth 4 - 15 years old. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, this program is for you! Led by experienced Water Polo coaches, our sessions provide a supportive environment for skill development.

Water polo is a combination of many sports, like swimming, basketball, soccer, team handball, and wrestling. Many of the skills and strategies those sports use, water polo combines them. Kids as young as 4 or 5 can start water polo. To begin with, this is just like swimming lessons but with a ball and goal thrown in for some extra fun.

Benefits:

  • Children understand how to play in a team, so that different children with different skills can work together to achieve a goal
  • Coordination to pass and catch the ball with one hand
  • Swimming is a core skill. This gives children an option to play a ball sport in the water which helps reinforce skills
  • Swimming is a fundamental requirement for Water Polo. The better a player can swim the better they will be able to play Water Polo.

The only requirement is that participants must be able to swim safely in the deep end-typically this means being able to complete 2-4 continuous laps without stopping. If you're unsure of your child's swimming ability, please reach out so we can discuss and, if needed, arrange a swim evaluation.
