Ryde's Junior Development program includes the Rhinos' learn to play water polo program.  It's a great way to introduce kids to a new sport and have fun in a supportive environment. The program is led by our club stalwart Peter Gerrie, a retired Aussie Shark and life member of the Ryde Rhinos.

Ryde's Junior Development program is open to school aged children from 8 to 12 years of age.

Participants must be able to swim 50m confidently as the water polo pool is deep (2m) and swimming is a large component of water polo play.  Freestyle, breaststroke and if possible backstroke.  A swim check will be done on participants on their first session.
