Spring Youth League

Spring Youth League

American River Water Polo Club's Youth Programs are for boys and girls ages 5 to 14 (not yet in high school)...from beginners to experienced water polo players and everything in between.

New athletes are encouraged to attend one of the Free Introductory Clinics to get a feel for water polo; returning players are welcome to attend the Clinics as well (try to bring a friend).

Our Spring Youth League is designed for beginners to experienced players, participants will practice and play games within the following groups: Noodle Ball ages 5-7; Micro Polo ages 8-10; and Youth Polo ages 11 and up.

Ages are recommended. Individual athletes' experience, skill level, and confidence should all be considered when determining groups. All participants MUST be good swimmers (able to swim 25 yards if under 7 years old and 50 yards for ages 8 and up).

This Spring, we are offering our Age Group Programs at four sites: McClatchy HS, Bella Vista HS, Rio Americano HS and the Roseville Aquatics Complex. Each site practices one weeknight a week and on a weekend day, with four Game Days scheduled on Sat, March 20, Sun, March 28, Sat, April 17 and Sun, April 25 in which all sites get together to play games. Game day schedules will be finalized following the first week of practice once we have a final tally on league participants and teams.

Competitive Program: 12U and 14U boys and girls teams will begin their spring/summer season with tryouts February 20/21. Athletes are encouraged to tryout for the competitive program. 10U Coed Competitive Team will start at the conclusion of the Spring Youth League and run through the end of summer.
