Holiday FlippaBall - Summer 2024/25

Our FlippaBall program offers a dynamic introduction to water polo, tailored for children in Years 4-6 who have reached Stage 5 or higher in swimming. With three 1-hour sessions each week (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays), students get the perfect balance of practice and play in a social, team-focused setting.

Benefits of FlippaBall sessions:

• Consistent practice for rapid skill development: The thrice-weekly format helps kids pick up water polo skills faster, building confidence and solidifying new techniques.
• Builds core movement skills and spatial awareness: FlippaBall, as an invasion sport, develops critical skills like spatial awareness, quick decision-making, and movement coordination, which transfer across many sports and support children’s overall athletic growth.
• Strengthens swimming and water confidence: Spending regular time in the water not only improves swimming ability but also builds water safety skills and confidence, especially beneficial during the summer season.
• Supports social and team development: Playing alongside teammates encourages kids to work together, communicate effectively, and develop leadership skills, all while building friendships in a positive, team-focused environment.
• Enhances physical fitness and endurance: Each 1-hour session incorporates swimming, ball handling, and gameplay, boosting cardiovascular fitness, strength, and stamina in a fun, low-impact way.
• Promotes resilience and self-confidence: As children learn new skills and overcome challenges in the water, they build resilience, self-confidence, and a sense of achievement that supports personal growth beyond the pool.
