Waterpolo today is considered to be one of the fastest, most skilled and exhilarating of all team games. It is an excellent way to learn team work and team tactics. Lessons are a fun experience and cover all facets of the game.
Year seven and eight start their waterpolo career playing for their school team. Here they learn the basics, including swimming, passing, shooting, defending, and fundamental rules of the game. At this level the emphasis is on fun with teams competing in local-intermediate competitions. We supply all equipment and experienced, fun coaches. Sessions run for 40 minutes, and teams are mixed.
Students learn to hone their skills and gain an understanding of the finer points of the game. Individual and team play techniques are taught at a more advanced and competitive level. North Shore high schools continue to dominate regional and national competitions. While coaching senior high school teams, we coach and run a competition for junior teams (under 15).
Social league is for new players or 'old hands' who don't wish to play club waterpolo. Played on Sunday mornings between 9am and 12 noon, the emphasis is on fun, keeping fit and meeting new people. The cost is $4.50. New teams and players are always welcome.
Every weekday morning from 7am to 8am our professional swim coach teaches swimming skills. Improve your fitness and versatility and ultimately make yourself a better player. All teams are encouraged to swim at least once a week and representative teams two to five times a week. See reception for social league, school and competition charges. Fees are non-transferable and non-refundable and are payable at reception on or before the first class.
Children under the age of eight-years-old must be accompanied into the pool area by a responsible adult over the age of 14-years-old. A responsible adult must swim with children that are three-years-old and under.
