Club Crews (12U, 14U, 16U, 18U)

Most pirates want to find treasure. Our pirates want to find the back of the net!

Aye, we swim, but no one joins water polo just to swim. Our club program offers so much more! Athletes improve their swimming skills, cardiovascular fitness, eye hand coordination and game sense! Youth ages 10 to 18 are welcome to join one of our youth club programs. Looking for a 9U learn-to-swim program? Head over to our I Love Water Polo info page.

Dribbling doesn’t just happen on the basketball court or soccer pitch. We dribble the ball up the pool doing head up front crawl. It becomes second nature pretty quickly. Don’t believe it? Come try!!

We scrimmage during practice, but the real excitement happens at Water Polo Sask Community League & Provincial events. These events give our athletes the opportunity to play games with or against athletes of similar age and skill from Regina, Humboldt, Estevan & Weyburn.

CLUB TRAINING GROUPS:

Our focus is on organizing athletes to train alongside peers of similar ages and skill levels. We prioritize creating social groups that consider both age and gender, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment. Each group will have designated practice times, space, and coaches tailored to their specific needs and abilities.

Below outlines our 12U, 14U, 16U and 18U programs. For our 9U learn-to-swim program, head over to our I Love Water Polo info page.
