Summer Water Polo Program Great for Beginners

Harker will offer a beginners’ water polo program this summer for students in grades 4-8 looking to learn more about the sport. The coed program will teach crucial skills necessary to compete, such as water and dry land conditioning, treading water, passing and shooting. To be eligible for the program, students must be able to swim 25 yards.

Ted Ujifusa, who directs the program, has been coaching water polo for nearly 40 years, and is the only coach in CCS history to lead two different public high schools to championships. He will be working with Allie Lamb, a 15-year water polo veteran, and swim coach Ron Usher, who has worked with every level from beginners to national champions.

This program will be held at the Singh Aquatic Center at Harker’s upper school campus, and runs from June 25-29, from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. each day. More information and registration are available at the Harker Summer Camp water polo pages.
