Summer Session

Tiger Water Polo primarily serves athletes from the North Allegheny School District but also welcomes athletes from any school district in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. Our club season runs from August 1 to July 31. We offer three sessions throughout the year for three age-group categories as defined by USA Water Polo:

The 10U/12U Co-ed Program (formerly Elementary) is designed for those who can swim and are comfortable in deep water. Children will begin to learn more about water polo skills and gameplay. They will spend time in friendly games with newfound teammates. 10U/12U practices provide a supportive environment for children to consider a sport that they may want to pursue. 10U/12U Co-ed athletes will practice once per week, typically on Sunday afternoons. This age group does not travel.

The 14U Co-ed Program (formerly Middle School) is for athletes who are ready to learn more sport-specific skills, get more involved in team dynamics, play inter-squad games, and increase their commitment toward improvement. Training sessions will be more frequent, typically 3-4 times per week, and opportunities will be presented to play competitively in tournaments locally and regionally. 

The 16U/18U Girls and Boys Program (formerly High School) is for athletes who have a desire for game strategy, harder workouts, and regular competition. This program offers high-level training 3-4 days per week in a fun environment aimed at accelerating personal development and team success in competitions. Athletes may be invited to play in regional, state, and national tournaments.

Dry Land Training

All training sessions will begin with at least 30 minutes of dry land workout. This will include strength, stretching and other dynamic exercises for our athletes to build strength and flexibility. Please come prepared with sturdy footwear for jogging and a water bottle. We also recommend applying sunscreen on the face if you burn easily as all sessions will be outside.

$125 10U/12U Co-ed

$250 14U Co-ed

$250 16U/18U Girls and Boys

The club expects all 14U, 16U, and 18U athletes to maintain at least a Bronze Level membership with USA Water Polo. As members of the Tiger Water Polo Club, you can select “Pittsburgh Water Polo Club” as your club affiliation. USA Water Polo membership will give you information about and access to training opportunities around the country. Some of the tournaments our club participates in will require each athlete to have a USA Water Polo membership.
