12 and Under
Info / Schedule
Our 12U team serves as an athlete’s first introduction to the regulation sport of water polo. Kids in this age range experience rapid development and leave ready to compete at the 14U / Junior High level. 12U athletes are separated into girls’ and boys’ teams. A current USA Water Polo bronze membership (link to register) is necessary to practice and compete. Registration scholarships are available if needed.
