South Davis Water Polo Training and Development

Thank you for coming to our training and development page. Our goal as as coaching staff is to provide a unified approach in how we teach skills, drills, and plays. Our desire is to have every player, regardless of their ambitions – become better water polo players at the pace they are comfortable with and want. 

Documents to the left will help you understand which skills and knowledge we are teaching at each age group level, and how we evaluate players during the games. Don’t worry though, if you are new to the sport, we will help you catch up. 

As always, if you have questions, feel free to ask any of the coaches.
