HOUSE LEAGUE (Age 8-12)

The House League is an opportunity for players of all abilities to get in the water, have fun and compete against their peers. Children will be introduced to the basic skills of water polo in a fun and encouraging environment. Players will be divided evenly onto teams that they will play/train with for the entire season. All players will get equal playing time. Practice will be 1 day during the week and Sunday afternoons will be dedicated to competing against the other in-house league teams. Exact practice schedules will be determined once players have been evaluated. Minimum swimming level needed to participate.

Practices Per Weeks: 2 (1 practice and 1 game day)

Length of Practice:  1 hour

Season Offered: Fall (Sept - Dec), Winter/Spring (Jan - April)

Attendance Requirements: None (50-100% recommended for optimum progress)

Winter 2026 WATER POLO HOUSE LEAGUE  (age 8 – 12): January 5 - April 26

The Winter 2026 Greenwich Aquatics Water Polo House league season starts on Monday, January 5 and goes until April 26.  This is a longer season than in the past. Players will practice one time during the week and then play in-house games every Sunday. We have listed the tentative practice days for all groups. For Sunday game days, kids will be divided onto different teams every week so they get to learn how to play with everyone. Players will play from either 12:30-1:30pm or 1:30-2:30pm. We ask that all players attend one of the evaluation dates.

Cost Per Season: $895 (plus a YMCA member annual membership which is $336 for the year or $29 per month)

Evaluation/Tryout Dates: All NEW players need to be evaluated in order to make practice placement. Evaluations should only take 15 minutes and can be scheduled with Kim Wang (ktierney@gwymca.org). 

Prerequisite: In order to play water polo, players need a minimum swimming level. Players need to be able to able to swim a few laps of freestyle without stopping. We do a timed 50 free at the evaluations and are looking for players to do 2 laps under 1 minute. If players are not ready for water polo based on their swimming level, we recommend focusing on swim lessons to start.
