ABOUT US
Founded to provide top coaching and training to all water polo athletes in the game of life. We focus water polo training on current Olympic Development Program guidelines, supported by experienced coaches, guest training camps and consultation with ODP & National Team coaches.
We also teach leadership, comradery and hard-work over time, and we expect all athletes to seek continued growth in academics and team development.
OUR MISSION
RISE Water Polo seeks to be a positive influence to our members and the community through the sport of water polo…we encourage, grow and support our athletes and help them excel both in water polo and in the game of life!
Youth today are confronted with an endless barrage of challenges and opportunities. In the limited time we have contact with athletes before they leave home, opportunities for personal growth and development must be seized. Only 7% of high school athletes will play any level of college sports. Thus, for most of our athletes, water polo is simply an adjunct to a busy life. We will do everything possible to encourage, develop and grow these individuals. For those who have developed exceptional water polo abilities and desire college opportunities in sport, we will do everything possible to encourage, develop and grow their prospects.

COMMUNICATE
Communicate your needs, goals and feedback with your coaches and your teammates. Remember that communication also requires listening.
