SplashballTM

Splashball™ is designed to bridge the gap between learn-to-swim and the sport of water polo for children 5-12 participating in a Splashball™ Program. The intent is to provide basic skills and understanding of the sport in a recreational format. Although water polo is known for its toughness and endurance, Splashball™ harnesses all the fun, dynamic aspects of the game in a safe, easy to learn aquatic experience that will motivate kids to swim and stay fit. For Splashball programming questions, please email sportgrowth@usawaterpolo.org.
