Splashball is an introduction to the game of water polo. Our objective is to teach basic polo skills and to spend a significant amount of time playing the game of water polo with ‘adjusted’ rules. We call this the FUN factor (i.e. players can catch the ball with 2 hands; players can ride noodles while playing; games are played in the shallow pool across the width).

All ages
