Minipolo at SCP...Where Many Water Polo Stars Started Their Careers
Commonwealth Place offers beginner water polo instruction for children ages 7-10. Sessions are taught by nationally certified Saanich Water Polo School coaches. Swimming ability is an asset, however classes are taught in a shallow pool environment to allow for skill development. Children are trained in sport specific strokes predominantly with the water polo ball. Special emphasis is placed on the perfection of the egg beater, stop and go techniques, quick turns, four basic shooting techniques, and game strategy. Each practice will feature a scrimmage. Prerequisite: Ability to swim ten strokes of freestyle.
