Speedo Cup
Let’s play water polo! The first Speedo Cup practice will be Thursday, Sept. 9 from 7-8:30pm at the Morgan Hill Aquatics Center.
The cost of the program is $75 with a $25 discount available to siblings.
The program will run through the first week of November.
There will be tournaments on Sundays and the Pacific Zone has asked Morgan Hill to host several tournaments, which should help save on gas expenses.
On those Sundays when a tournament is not scheduled, an additional workout will be scheduled.
Speedo Cup is a fall water polo program for athletes not in high school and aged 14 or younger.
We will focus on frontcourt team offense, frontcourt team defense, individual ball handling skills, proper passing technique, proper shooting technique, proper body balance (position) in the water, 6-on-5 offense/defense, and 1-on-1 offensive/defensive skills.
Depending on the number of players, there will be a 12-under coed team, a 14-under boys and a 14-under girl’s team.
The season runs from mid-September through mid-November. Practice is one night a week, with games on Sunday. Morgan Hill Water Polo is a member of United States Water Polo.
