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)

FALL WATER POLO HOUSE LEAGUE  (age 8 – 12): September 14 – December 20

The Fall 2026 Greenwich Aquatics Water Polo House league season starts on Monday, September 14 and goes until December 20. 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. 

Cost Per Season: $795 (plus a YMCA member annual membership which is $384 for the year or $32 per month)

This Season: We will offer an extra practice for those more experienced players interested in more practices per week to help better prepared to try out for our travel team. This will be on Fridays from 4-5:30pm. This will be an invited only practice, open only to plyers with prior water polo experience who are ready for a more advanced training environment.  There is a supplemental fee for this optional practice, and space is limited. If you believe your child would be a good fit and are interested in being considered, please fill out this form.

Evaluation/Tryout Dates: We ask that all new players come in to be evaluated the week of August 30 between 4-5pm. Depending on how many kids we have, evaluations should only take 15 minutes and we will send out an evaluation sign-up sheet after players register. 

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 the younger players (age 8-10) to do 2 laps under 1:10 minute. For our older players (11-12) 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.
