Junior Club and Coach expectations - It is expected when players commit to a team that they are also committing to attending the required training sessions.
In addition to normal training ,the club holds scrimmage sessions against other clubs where player attendance will be required to ensure team development. These are usually held on a training night and hosted by other clubs around Sydney. They are great opportunities for players to develop their water polo skills in a semi-competitive environment.
Thank you in advance for your support. Ryde Water Polo Club utilises training time to develop players skills, fitness, game knowledge and development.
