Class Overview
The Fundamentals of Water Polo Class is designed to introduce the sport of water polo to children and teens. The intent is to provide basic skills and understanding of the sport in a recreational format. Although water polo is known for its toughness and endurance, this course will harness all the fun, dynamic aspects of the game in a safe easy to learn aquatic experience that will motivate kids to swim and stay fit.
Students will start off by learning the very basics such as swimming head-up freestyle, swimming with the ball, and treading water with and without the use of their hands. Then they will then move into learning how to handle, pass and shoot the water polo ball. Once they have learned and practice these fundamental skills they will move on to learning basic game set-up, plays, offensive skills, and defensive skills. To accommodate all students, each class will be broken up into two smaller groups based on knowledge and skill.
