Play first.
Skills follow.
Mini Polo helps children develop ball skills, coordination and confidence through games. Once they're comfortable in deeper water, they can explore deep-end training and—if they choose—a competition pathway.

More than a game.
A pathway that inspires.
Mini Polo gives children something to look forward to, a team to belong to and a new reason to keep improving their swimming. It is about enjoyment and inclusion first, with progression available for those who want more.
Deep-water polo
Progress to more demanding swimming, ball skills, positioning and team play when your child is comfortable and safe in deep water.
Club & competitive opportunities
Children who love the game can move into Development Zone, clubs and appropriate Competition Squad or Sussex representative opportunities.

Teamwork. Progression.
Mini Polo isn't just a stepping stone to competitive water polo. It is a brilliant aquatic activity in its own right, helping children develop communication, determination, friendship and lifelong enjoyment of the pool.
For those ready for more, our Competition Squad and wider Sussex Academy opportunities provide additional challenges. Club progression is encouraged when it is right for the individual.
