Program Desciption

A fun, high-energy introduction to team sports in the water. Designed for beginners and multi-sport kids, Splashball reinforces water safety skills, practices comfort in water, and is engaging for kids using fun games and drills, as well as social skills building in an inclusive "team" environment. It also builds coordination, confidence, and athletic IQ, without added joint impact or pressure. Through engaging games and simple skill-based drills, athletes build coordination, confidence, teamwork, and comfort in the water while learning the fundamentals of the sport. Please note: this class may share pool space with other programs and not designated as sensory friendly. We offer a separate program on Sundays specifically for athletes that prefer a lower sensory environment in which to learn. No prior water polo experience is required, this class is perfect for first-time players. Friends and siblings are encouraged to participate together, and families are welcome to join simply because the Sunday schedule or quieter learning environment is the best fit for them. Parents are welcome to observe from the pool deck during class.
