Brooklyn Water Polo

WATER POLO, THE MOST EXCITING SPORT IN THE WATER.

WE WELCOME ALL INTERESTED BOYS AND GIRLS WHO WISH TO JOIN OUR GROWING CLUB.

---

The mission of the Brooklyn Water Polo Club is to support young players, ages 8 to 18, in learning, playing and competing in the sport of water polo through structured coaching, swimming development and competition opportunities.

Our competitive travel teams compete regionally with other club teams in New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. In addition, we try to plan around one travel tournament per season to Florida, California, Texas, or elsewhere.

Girls and boys ages 8 to 18 who are proficient swimmers are encouraged to try out for our competitive travel teams.

REGISTRATION AND FEES

Registration and team communications are managed through Teamsnap.com. Please reach out to us directly for more information about registration.

We currently offer two seasons per year: September-December and January-June.

The winter/spring session cost is $1,950 per athlete with a 20% sibling discount for second+ children. This includes regular Monday – Sunday practice schedule and local competitions.

Competition is at the discretion of our coaches.

All BWPC athletes are required to be members of USA Water Polo, which has annual dues. http://www.usawaterpolo.org/members/athlete-memberships.html

We are excited to announce a new, pre-competition, introductory level of water polo for kids aged 7-12 that will practice twice a week, starting Thursday, January 18th. 

Our coaches will teach participants the fundamentals of the sport, including passing, shooting, and swimming technique in a fun and supportive environment. The program also places a strong emphasis on teamwork, sportsmanship, and overall physical fitness. Our goal is to provide a positive and enjoyable experience for all, and to foster a love of the sport that will last a lifetime. 

For kids who are older than 12 or for those with prior experience or those ready for competition, we recommend joining our 4x/week level. If you are unsure of what level is right for you, we can evaluate during the first couple practices and will work with you to determine what is best. 

The practices will be located in the LIU Brooklyn Pool (161 Ashland Place) and the schedule is subject to change based on pool availability.

PRICING AND PAYMENTS

Financing and sibling discounts are done through the registration process in TeamSnap. Scholarships are also available – for more information, please reach out to us.
When prompted to pay, if you are paying by Zelle or Venmo, please select the “Pay Offline” option. 
Zelle and Venmo are the preferred payment methods as the club does not pay fees for these services (in some cases these fees cost the club 5%!). We totally understand the need for various options but if at all possible, please consider Zelle or Venmo.

As part of the registration, parents will need to sign the BHWC Code of Conduct for Parents. Players will sign a Players Code of Conduct the first week of practice.

For those new to our team, please bring a swimsuit, towel, cap (for anyone with longer hair), goggles (only used during lap swim) and water. Brooklyn Hustle gear will be available for sale throughout the season!  

Thank you for your interest and hope to see you on the pool deck in the near future!
