Dive into Water Sports at the Kroc Center

Whether your child is just starting out or ready to compete, the Kroc Center offers aquatic programs for all skill levels. Splash Ball introduces kids ages 5–9 to the basics of water polo in a fun, non-competitive environment, while our Water Polo Intramural Leagues challenge athletes ages 10–15 with competitive play and advanced training. Both programs emphasize skill development, teamwork, and a love for the water in a safe and supportive setting.

The Kroc Center Water Polo is a program designed to educate and share the appreciation of water polo amongst players, parents, and coaches. Our water polo program provides a space for players who are beginners, knowing nothing about the sport, to intermediate players looking to improve their skill set.

At our facility, we run our youth program (ages 10-15) in our 25m x 25yd deep water competition pool. Due to the location of these practices, we hold a requirement for all participants to be able to swim a 50-yard freestyle non-stop, and tread water for at least 1 minute. As much as we want everyone to join, we want to ensure that all players are safe and capable of having a good experience in our program. The last thing we ask is that our water polo players and parents come with a good attitude and learning mindset to prepare for the excitement ahead!

Program Goals

Create a fun, safe, and active environment between players, parents, and coaches to help cultivate the passion that former, and future players can share around the game.
Spread the education and joy of water polo by providing a program that stays inclusive to the entire population of participants.
Water polo is often seen as an “intense” sport. We strive to keep the game enjoyable and comfortable for all players who join.
