Club Level - Play Like a Pirate!

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 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.

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, Estevan & Weyburn.

Athletes are eligible for TeamSask. You can learn more about TeamSask program at http://www.wpsask.ca/.
