• SPLASH CAMP June 12-16 $225; June 20-23 $200

  Splash Camp, for ages 8 to 12, provides novice campers with the opportunity to learn the basic rules and skills for the popular sport of water polo.  For our more experienced polo players, camp activities will look to build greater confidence in your water skills. Splash Camp is held in the morning from 8:30 to 10:00 am.  Each 90-minute session will include work on basic skills: passing and catching technique (one-handed passing and catching only), treading technique, and how to gain "ball side" position. Each session will include opportunities for participants to play games, which will reinforce the skills introduced throughout our sessions.
  
  

  Participants must be able to swim the length of the pool and be able to tread water for 60 seconds.  Classes will be instructed by coaches and players with decades of experience. Andrew Lewandowski will lead each session. He has been involved with the sport since 1984. He was a high school All-American and then a 4-time All-Ivy League selection when he played at Yale University. More recently, Andrew coached the Yale Men’s and Women’s Water Polo teams for 14 seasons, leading the team to six top-10 finishes nationally. He coached more than 20 All-American players and in 2011 he was voted the Collegiate Water Polo Association’s National Coach of the Year. In 2014, he founded the New Haven Hydras, an age group program.  (Splash Camp will be closed Monday, June 19th)
