10U Water Polo Program (Ages 9–10 Born 2017 and under)

2026/2027 Season

Our 10U program is a season-long development pathway for athletes aged 9–10. It builds on foundational skills and introduces athletes to competitive gameplay in a supportive team setting.

Games are played 5v5 (4 field players + 1 goalie), offering young athletes more time on the ball and greater involvement in the game.

The 2026/2027 season runs from September 2026 to the May 24th 2027 weekend.
