Youth AQUATICS PROGRAMS Splashball Water Polo / Ages 6-9 This fun water polo class is a great way to introduce your child to the sport of water polo. Splashball is conducted entirely in the shallow end of the pool. Over the fiveweek course, children are challenged to learn how to egg beater and master the basic skills such as passing and shooting. Children must be water safe and able to swim the length of the pool. Introductory Water Polo / Ages 6 & older Mission Viejo High School 25025 Chrisanta Drive Mission Viejo www.Power-Aquatics.com Questions? E-mail: [email protected] Power Aquatics was formed in 2012 as an organization to promote the sport of swimming and water polo to pre-high school children. Power Aquatics’ purpose is to provide basic water polo training in the Mission Viejo area and prepare athletes for high school athletics. Our athletes excel due to our club philosophy in three areas: small class sizes, coaches in the water teaching skills, and a fun/recreational environment. Swimming is held on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays Water Polo is held on Tuesdays & Thursdays Fees: Most sessions are 4 weeks long The price for a single sport is $65/month The price for two sports is $90/month Three week sessions: The price for a single sport is $50/month The price for two sports is $75/month Five week sessions: The price for a single sport is $80/month The price for two sports is $110/month Discounts- Sibling discounts: $5 off per athlete/per sport Power Aquatics is open to everyone regardless of skill level. We feel that starting players will develop faster in a clinic-type setting with more focused attention to individual development. Introductory practices are held in both the shallow and deep ends of the pool to provide a fun and safe environment. This group focuses on learning to eggbeater, pass, shoot and basic skills/rules of the game. When athletes have mastered a certain skill, they combine with the youth level in controlled scrimmages during practice. Players who have developed the basic skills set, will be invited to continue their development at the youth level. Youth Water Polo / 8th Grade & Under Youth level players work to perfect the fundamentals of the game. More advanced techniques and skills are introduced during our clinic-style practices. As these players prepare for high school, they will have scheduled practice times and monthly scrimmages against other clubs in the area. Swimmers are placed in groups depending on speed and skill. Introduction to Swimming A five-week program that will teach water safety, how to be comfortable in the water, and the basics of freestyle and backstroke. This program will be held next to a wall in 3 ft. deep water. No prior swimming experience is necessary. Bronze Level Swimming Bronze Level swimmers are a combination of our youngest athletes and new members just learning how to swim. This group learns in a fun environment, with coaches in the water to assist as students break down the basics of the four strokes. Although students are next to a wall and in 3 ft. deep water, they must be able to swim a 1/4 lap by themselves. Win a One Month Membership to Cal Elite Kids AND win! Find sv... sv... Find Email u
