Rose Bowl Water Polo
At the RBAC, our student-athletes are led by an incredible coaching staff that includes current local high school, collegiate, zone team, and National Team coaches. Our student-athletes begin with Splashball (5-7 years) and Intro to Water Polo (8-13 years) which focuses on increasing water safety, building confidence, and introducing key water polo concepts and skills. Our Gold Academy is the next step. In Gold Group (8-14 years), student-athletes will build endurance, develop strength and speed, and improve their water polo skills. After Gold Academy, student-athletes are invited to try out for our travel teams. We field multiple travel teams at each age group (10 & under, 12 & under, 14 & under, 16 & under, and 18 & under).
