Splashball is designed to bridge the gap between learn-to-swim and the sport of water polo for children ages 5-11 participating in a Splashball program. 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 the fun, dynamic aspects of the game in a safe, easy-to-learn aquatic experience that will motivate kids to swim and stay fit.
If you are interested in participating in Splashball, please contact Tyler Daly at [email protected]
