Sarasota United Water Polo Club currently focuses on 14-Under age groups.
NO PRIOR WATER POLO EXPERIENCE NEEDED! Athletes can start from scratch and grow in the sport. SWIMMING: athletes must be comfortable in the deep end of the pool, and swim 25 yards unassisted.
Within the standard age groups (14-under, 12-under, 10-under), all age groups are in the pool at the same time; for drills and scrimmages, athletes are grouped according to experience and ability. The groupings are designed to provide each player the best learning/encouraging experience.
Newer players are sometimes paired with coaches to learn drills and skills.

Yes, absolutely....our club offers a free two-week trial period. Our sport's governing body (USA Water Polo) offers a free two-week trial period as well, after which annual memberships are available at various levels. Following the Trial membership period, we suggest Bronze level for most athletes once the Trial membership ends.
We structure the year into three sessions. Each session costs $210. For details on what the costs cover, visit the Youth page. In-state tournaments are optional and an extra fee (typically between $100-$150 entrance fee per athlete). Travel choices and costs are made by each family. We often get discounted group rates for hotel rooms.
Follow the 3 steps outlined at the bottom of the Youth page. For any questions, reach out to Coach J.P. at coachJP@SUWP.org.
