Come and Try
DOES YOUR CHILD LOVE TO SWIM?
Give water polo a go!
If your child is confident in the water and loves being in the pool, Come & Try is an easy way to see if water polo might be their thing.
No experience? No problem! Your child doesn’t need to know the rules or come from a water polo family. They simply need to be comfortable swimming 25 metres and confident in the deep end of the pool.
They’ll jump into one of our Wednesday junior sessions, meet the coaches and other kids, get a ball in their hands and have a go.
No pressure. No experience needed. Just a chance to try something new.
Water polo is about much more than learning to throw a ball in a pool. Kids build confidence, fitness, teamwork, communication and resilience, while making friends and having fun.
For some children, it becomes a sport they simply love playing with their friends. For others, it can lead to Friday night competition, tournaments, GCWP Academy and representative opportunities.
⭐ WHAT WILL THEIR FIRST SESSION BE LIKE?
They’ll join one of our regular Wednesday Junior Training sessions at Trinity Lutheran College, alongside other GCWP juniors.
Our coaches will get them involved at their own level. They’ll have a go at:
- getting comfortable with a water polo ball
- passing, moving and shooting
- meeting the coaches and other junior players
- learning a little about how the game works
- having fun in the pool
Come & Try sessions are available for two weeks, so they have more than one chance to settle in and see if they enjoy it.
