More information about our Youth League-

American River Water Polo Club's Youth League is a 5 week session for boys and girls ages 5-13 (not yet in high school)...from beginners to experienced water polo players and everything in between. ARWPC will offer a spring program Arden/Arcade @ Rio Americano HS. This is the best program to introduce kids to the great sport of water polo.  We host a youth league program in the Fall, Spring and Summer.

 

Our Youth League is divided into the following groups: Noodle (ages 5-7), Micro (ages (8-10), and Youth (ages 11-13). Ages are recommended but experience, skill level, and confidence are all considered when determining groups. *Noodle Water Polo utilizes a water noodle float that allows athletes to work on the skills necessary for water polo without the worry of keeping their head above water. Athletes are encouraged to use the float as long/little as they need. It is a tool to gain confidence while working on building skill. 


New athletes are encouraged to attend the first week of practices for a feel for water polo. We do not bill for our program until after the first week to make sure that everyone is satisfied with the program before financial commitment. Good swimming ability is required. All you need to bring is a suit and a towel.  Please register prior to attending to help us properly staff the event. If it is not for you, then please let us know so we can drop your athlete prior to the billing date.

 

All participants must be good swimmers (able to swim 25 yards if under 7 years old; 50 yards for ages 8 and up). This does not mean that participants must be expert swimmers by any means. If you have doubts, try a free clinic or simply sign-up and use the first couple practices as a try-out to see if your child is comfortable in the water.


Our sites have included Rio Americano HS, CK McClatchy HS, Del Campo, Bella Vista & Folsom Aquatic Center. Practices are held twice weekly with three "game days" providing a tournament-like environment while playing realistic, yet friendly water polo games. The Game Days are designed to provide opportunities for all sites to get together and play games. Each age group will play a set of games for 1-2 hours depending on the age group and the number of athletes registered.
