Splashball
This fall Puget Sound Polo is offering Splash Ball for athletes 10 and Under @ Curtis High School
This year Puget Sound Polo will be incorporating the USA Water Polo Splash Ball Curriculum as we work with our youngest polo players.
Splashball is designed to bridge the gap between learning to-swim and the sport of water polo. The intent is to provide basic skills and understanding of the sport in a recreational format. Although water polo is known for its toughness and endurance, Splashball harnesses all of the fun, dynamic aspects of the game in a safe, easy to learn aquatic experience that will motivate kids to swim, stay fit, and learn how to be safe in the water.
The recommended age for PSP Splashball athletes is ages 8-10.
However, younger athletes who are comfortable in the water and strong swimmers are encouraged to sign up. The majority of Splashball practices take place in the shallow end of the pool (depth of 3 1⁄2 feet). With proper supervision and safety equipment (including lifejackets, noodles, etc.) students who are comfortable will have opportunities in deep water to continue their skills.
