Fun. Fitness. Friendship. Confidence.
Full-Body Workout - Think swimming meets basketball—with a splash of soccer and wrestling. Water polo builds strength, endurance, and coordination, all while kids are having a blast.
Brain + Brawn - This sport is fast-paced and strategic. Your child will learn to think quickly, stay focused under pressure, and outsmart the competition—all while treading water!
True Team Spirit - In water polo, teamwork isn’t optional—it’s essential. Players build strong bonds, practice trust and communication, learn to work with others and develop the kind of sportsmanship that sticks with them for life.
Low-Impact, High Reward - Water polo is intense but safe—the water cushions joints, reducing injury risk compared to basketball, baseball or football. It’s perfect for growing bodies.
Lifesaving Swimming Skills - Whether your kid is a strong swimmer or just getting started, they’ll quickly become confident and capable in the water—a skill that lasts a lifetime.
Confidence That Lasts - Water polo is tough—and that’s the point. Kids build resilience, push through challenges, and walk away feeling strong, accomplished, and proud.
Every child regardless of background or starting skill level should have the opportunity to get the benefits of team sports, and athletics and our program is designed for them.. We focus on what each player needs to get to the next level, whether beginners or experienced athletes.
Both you, and your kids, will be amazed at what they will be able to do.
MidValley is a recognized nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing the benefits of water polo and sport to kids.
Originally founded in 1999, MidValley Water Polo started with 8 girls. We have grown, and have boys and girls 4 -15 playing at all skill levels, from beginners' “splashball” to medal winning travelling teams that compete and rank in local and national tournaments. We hold practice year-round.
Whether you're a novice or an experienced water polo player, we would love to have you on our team.

Water polo has a reputation as one of the toughest, most physically demanding team sports in the world. It is a game that combines the tactical elements and the physical demands of such diverse sports as swimming, soccer, basketball, ice hockey, and rugby.
Our mission is to introduce kids 4-18 to the sport of water polo, and teach them the swimming skills, stamina training, and other skills necessary to excel in this demanding sport.
The mental aspects of water polo often times determine the outcome more than the physical play.
Accordingly, as part of our program, we teach kids to set high expectations for themselves, work hard to meet them, and push them to challenge themselves not only in the pool, but in their day-to-day lives.
Our Novice/Splash Ball Program serves as an introduction to water polo. It teaches kids 4-10 the basics of water polo and swimming, and basic water safety skills.
By way of analogy, the Splash Ball Program is to water polo as T-Ball is to Little League Baseball.
Our Club Travelling Teams Program competes locally, nationally, and internationally at the 10 & Under, 12 & Under, 14 & Under and 16 & Under levels.
Our Travelling Teams' recent accomplishments include the following:
3rd hale tournament 2022
2nd Kap 7 Turbo tournament 2022
