What to expect at women’s water polo camps

Most women’s water polo camps offer both technical and tactical training.

• By tactical training, we mean water polo camps that usually include attacking multiple defensive schemes and learning about anticipation, decision-making and defending multiple offensive schemes.
• By technical training, we mean women’s water polo camps that concentrate on ball handling, drive defense, correct body positioning, specialized driving techniques and pure shooting.

Many camps blend these methods and offer women’s water polo players instruction in power swimming and flexibility.

There are many good water polo summer camps throughout the US that will help athletes improve their skills, and picking the right camp is important. Athletes and families want to be sure they choose a camp that will do at least two things:

First, get exposure to college coaches who can evaluate them as a player and potentially offer them a scholarship.

Secondly, get expert coaching that enables them to bring their game to the next level. Coaches are not just evaluating athletes’ athletic potential, but also how coachable they are. They know that if the raw talent and desire are there, they can mold athletes into college players if they have the right attitude and are willing to work hard.

The women’s water polo camps listed here will help athletes and families find the right camp to help them on their path to playing water polo in college.

Water polo camps vs. water polo clinics 

• Water polo clinics: Water polo clinics help athletes improve their game under the guidance of experts. These clinics instill confidence in athletes by running practice drills, mock competitions and player tips. Clinics typically run for a few hours or even an entire day.
• Water polo camps: Like water polo clinics, water polo camps help student-athletes work on their skills and technique through drills and mock competition under the guidance of experts. The primary difference between these two training opportunities is that camps generally span a couple days or an entire week. Various organizations and colleges host water polo camps. College camps allow recruits to work with coaches that lead programs they are interested in.
