ACA Water Polo was founded in 2012 and has grown into an inclusive fun group of friends with room for all; thick/thin, young/old and from X to Y and all that’s in-between or out of those boxes.
TRAINING
Don't worry too much about waterpolo being a heavy sport. You'll see it is not that bad. Moreover, there is room for everyone, from beginner to competition. Nevertheless, basics of swimming are important, as well as physical fitness.
A training consists of warming up, technique and a match.
Do you want to give it a try? You are definately welcom and the first time is free! We do encourage you to start in September, January or June. This way you can be sure that we can pay enough attention to teach you the basics of Water Polo. Send an email to the waterpolo coordinator. to schedule your first training.
TRAINING SCHEDULE
There are a number of regular trainers. Once every couple weeks, a volunteer will lead the training. Check the training schedule in this spreadsheet (request access once to the waterpolo coordinator).
REQUIREMENTS
We provide the most in terms of equipment. Bring your own (form-fitting) swimming trunks and goggles (and perhaps a water bottle) and you are ready to go.
RECREATIONAL COMPETITION and TOURNAMENTS
Optional but highly recommended: we participate in the regular recreational tournament and at least one international tournament (champagne water polo league) every year, so if your ambition lies in that area ... let us know!
RULES
Golden rule: CUT YOUR NAILS and DO NOT WEAR JEWELERY, watches or other devices in the pool. This way you keep it fun for your teammates and/or opponents.
In addition, there are the effective rules of the game. Here you can already consult the theory (during the training sessions we will of course pay due attention to this): Waterpolo Regels 2021(dutch version)
