THE GAME FOR EVERYONE

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.

A REASON TO STAY IN THE WATER

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.

01 / DISCOVER

Shallow-water Mini Polo

Learn to pass, catch, move and cooperate. Games are adapted for developing swimmers so everyone can play and build confidence.

02 / DEVELOP

Deep-water polo

Progress to more demanding swimming, ball skills, positioning and team play when your child is comfortable and safe in deep water.

03 / PROGRESS

Club & competitive opportunities

Children who love the game can move into Development Zone, clubs and appropriate Competition Squad or Sussex representative opportunities.

GROW TOGETHER

Inspiration.
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.
