Water Polo practice is typically four days/per week for each age group. Several shooting and technique clinics are available, and included, in addition to practices.


Visalia-Tulare Water Polo Academy is focused on sharing our love of the game of water polo with our community.  Over the last 8 years, we have had the joy of teaching the game to all ability levels of student-athletes.  Many times, we have started by teaching our players how to swim. And sometimes we have had exceptionally talented athletes who have made it all the way to the USA National Team.  At the Academy, we teach sound fundamentals and help our athletes progress through mastering individual techniques and learning to work within a team to execute team tactics and strategies.  We love teaching the game to new players of any age, and any athletic ability.  Our coaches are kind and patient while also requiring accountability and effort.  We are accustomed to diverse groups of student-athletes where there is a mix of athletic, non-athletic, attention challenged, overly social, non-social, verbal and non-verbal players.

We understand the unique physical and mental challenges of water polo can help young men and women build high character and become increasingly motivated in all areas of their lives.  Our goal is to see our student-athletes gain confidence by mastering a physical skill and contributing to the success of their team.
