BENEFITS OF WATER POLO FOR KIDS

​

  • Children playing water polo are in better physical condition and are healthier than most other athletes because they exercise in water, typically burning over 1,000 calories per hour!

  • Due to the low impact nature of playing a sport in water, injuries are significantly less common than in most other sports.

  • Research indicates that kids that play water polo and splashball, especially young girls, are more likely to have a positive body image and higher self-esteem… and they eat a more healthy diet of foods.

  • Physical activities are proven to relieve stress and reduce depression.

  • Statistics show that sports like water polo improve academic standing.

  • Sports in general, help develop teamwork and leadership skills.

  • Motor skills, strategic thinking, and even math skills are learned by playing sports like water polo. Students develop strategic thinking skills as they must figure out the best ways to move as a unit to score a goal.

  • Children who exercise are more likely to continue the practice into adulthood.
