8U · Mondays, 3:15 p.m. · By invitation
My favorite group.
My two daughters, 5 and 7, play here.
Right now we're learning to swim. Over the last year these kids moved up fast. Some can almost put their heads down and rip freestyle. It's so good.
We also do synchronized swimming and learn to play the game. This group is heavy on swimming, and it has some really talented young athletes.
By invitation only. You'll probably be perfect if you are fun, kind, inspired, and have an athlete who wants to be in the water.
10U · Ages 9–10
Fun first. Then we sneak in the hard stuff.
We have a solid group of 9-year-olds. Most can play this division for 3+ seasons. That's very exciting for a coach.
Not full time, but full-time ready if you want it.
Everyone plays. Everyone is awesome.
12U Coed · Ages 11–12
When you're in, you're in.
Come up to 5 days a week. Not required.
Games matter at this age. We push progress and development, and we don't leave anyone behind. Some travel tournaments. The main show is the Junior Olympics National Championship in mid-July.
Bring goggles. Expect fun. These kids would rather throw the ball at each other than swim 200s. They love to win. Winning means hitting our goals.
Three expectations:
- When coach talks, look and listen. No talking.
- On offense: how do I score?
- On defense: how do I help my team stop a goal?
Picking flowers or playing Spider-Man now and then? That's OK, as long as we meet those three.
14U · Ages 13–14
Not an all-star team. A team of stars.
This group has been training hard. Six new players tried it last season. They were welcomed with open arms, and they thrived.
We are learning fast in this group. It's not easy. It's awesome.
In 2027 we work toward the Junior Olympics.
Our stars aren't stars because of water polo, though they're getting good. It's their personality. Their perseverance. Getting put in hard situations and working through it.
At 13 and 14 they're becoming young men and women. Great kids. Great families.
Lots of games. Lots of fun.
Wanted: a big kid to play center who wants to be part of something special.
