This summer program is the best trial of what is like to register for our high performance annual training program.

Why is it different from a summer camp?

While our summer camps offer the best balance between fun and water polo fundamentals, the Summer Academy follows a demanding and immersive training program designed to get the most out of every athlete. At the Summer Academy you can get a taste of our high performance annual water polo program.
