The 2023 Turbo Santa Barbara Water Polo Camp is designed to help prepare your athletes for the rest of their water polo career. The camp is designed to have a direct impact on your overall game. While fitness is a key aspect to a great water polo player our philosophy focuses on fundamental position and ball skills. Therefore, the camp will combine fitness, both swimming and leg strength, coupled with an intense review of all fundamental aspects of the game. From basic defensive position, to drive shooting to 2m “O” to 6vs5 shooting to 2m “D” to 5v6 base defensive position. The goalie portion of the camp is run by Olympic goalkeepers Genai Kerr and Andy Stevens and will focus on goalie specific movement and most importantly leg strength.
