Hamden North Haven YMCA Introduces Waterpolo

During the month of August (August 2nd through August 25th), the Hamden/North Haven YMCA will be introducing a new program that is perfect for the off-season swimmers: YMCA Wetball!

Water Polo is one of the fastest growing aquatic sports in the United States. This energetic sport emphasizes swimming ability, conditioning, ball skills, and teamwork. It is a game that is both fun and safe for people of all ages. YMCA Wetball is a threelevel progressive program to learn the game of water polo. The program is designed so that it can be used for swimmers and non-swimmers. The objectives of the program are to introduce basic skills of water polo, teach correct positioning, and prepare the player for play. These objectives are met through basic drills, game-type activities, and lots of encouragement. Adaptations are made based on the age and skill levels of participants. Once players have progressed through the three levels, they are ready for more advanced water polo play.

So, if you are looking for something to do during the month of August, come join in on the fun and learn how to play YMCA Wetball (ages 8 to 13)!  Click here for more information on registration!
