This camp is designed for high school (entering grades 9 – 12) boys who aspire to continue to play water polo at the highest level. Sessions will focus on individual skill development and also on team tactics and team play. Attendees will receive high level instruction in fundamentals as well as more advanced water polo skills and team strategies from coaches who understand developing competitive players as well as what it takes to play at the college level. Sessions will include water polo drills and game play to reinforce the learned skills and tactics. Sessions will be intense and designed to push each camper past his/her comfort zone to improve his/her overall play. This is a perfect camp for boys who are aspiring to play in college and desire that collegiate evaluation.

Our Hi-Performance Camp will include individualized video review and analysis of shooting and passing with our "Sideline Scout" video systems. We will be providing individualized and differentiated instruction using this video review and analysis with each camper so that they can visualize their progress. The video review will be of each athletes water polo fundamentals, particularly shooting. We find that even the most proficient high school athletes can benefit from focusing on perfect fundamentals. Water Polo is Fundamental!

A dedicated goalie coach will provide goalies their own training sessions in the mornings before they integrate back with the field players as needed. Goalie instruction will emphasize a variety of skill sets ranging from the fundamentals to high level training. There is no substitute for good goalie play. The goaltender commands his/her defense and initiates the offense. 

Camp water polo activities will be held in the Naval Academy’s Norm Scott Natatorium and/or the Lejeune Hall pool. Athletes will be lodged in the Naval Academy’s famous Bancroft Hall, and will be provided meals at King Hall, the dining facility for the Brigade of Midshipmen. 

The primary location for the camp training is Scott Natatorium, United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD 21402. Training may also be conducted in the Lejeune Hall and the Akerson Theater as well as other facilities at the Naval Academy.

We will be introducing some of the newest defensive and offensive strategies that are being used in college water polo and you will get to see if some of these may work for your high school season!
