CAMP PROGRAM
The UCLA Water Polo Camp offers a competitive learning environment for athletes interested in improving their knowledge, skills, and overall confidence in the sport of water polo. Each camper should have two years of water polo and/or VERY strong swimming experience in order to participate. Campers will receive training from the best coaches and athletes in the country. The camp staff is led by the UCLA coaching staffs, as well as current members of the men’s and women’s water polo programs. Campers will receive personal skill instruction by position, in addition to learning UCLA’s approach to conditioning, cross-training, nutrition, team strategy, and various philosophies of the game. They will learn both offensive and defensive strategies, and how to adapt them in game situations. Campers will take with them the knowledge and confidence necessary to excel in the sport of water polo. Camp fees include a camp t-shirt and awards. Be a part of the UCLA tradition and join us for an exciting summer of Bruin water polo!
YOUTH DAY CAMP
The Youth Water Polo Day Camp is designed for younger swimmers and polo players just starting to learn the sport. Camp emphasis will be on fundamental training and basic game skills. A strong swimming background is recommended for campers new to the sport, for safety reasons.
DEVELOPMENTAL CAMPS (Boys & Girls)
Both of the developmental camps are for ages 12-18, and the emphasis of the camp is on water polo fundamentals and position-specific training. Offensive scoring and goalkeeping will be the highlight of the developmental camps.
COED HIGH SCHOOL WATER POLO CAMP
This camp is for high school aged players only, and focuses on various offensive and defensive strategies, within a competitive learning environment. High School players are expected to have a firm grasp on the fundamentals of water polo. This camp will help develop the skills necessary to compete at a high level.
COMMUTERS (OVERNIGHT CAMP)
Commuter fees for the overnight camp include instruction, as well as lunch each day. Commuters must check-in on the first day of camp at the same dorm location at the Resident campers. A detailed daily schedule will be provided at check-in.
FACILITIES & ACCOMMODATIONS
All UCLA Water Polo Camps will be held at the state-of-the-art Spieker Aquatics Center. Overnight campers stay in the UCLA residence halls, and meals are served in the award-winning UCLA residential restaurants. The residential restaurants offer a variety of food on an all-you-care-to-eat basis for a well-rounded, balanced diet. Overnight campers are housed in double- and triple occupancy rooms, and are supervised by coaches and counselors also staying in the residence hall. Roommate preferences will be accommodated whenever possible, but cannot be guaranteed. If no roommate is requested, roommates will be assigned according to gender and age.
