SOCAL Water Polo Foundation, Inc. Mission

The mission of SOCAL WATER POLO FOUNDATION, INC. is to develop young players’ water polo skills so that they may participate in high school and college water polo at levels commensurate with their fully developed talents.

SOCAL WATER POLO FOUNDATION, INC. supports the notion of the scholar-athlete, individuals who excel in the classroom, in the swimming pool, in their communities, and in their families. SOCAL WATER POLO FOUNDATION, INC. seeks to enhance and develop sportsmanship in athletes. Not only does our program seek to be a winning program, but SOCAL WATER POLO FOUNDATION, INC. also wants to be respected for having class.

SOCAL WATER POLO FOUNDATION, INC.’s staff, head coach, and all members are expected to support the following priorities:

1. Swimming – swimming is the fundamental skill of water polo. We believe that good swimmers make good water polo players and vice versa. We encourage water polo players to develop a passion for swimming fast. Swimming is a skill that can provide a lifetime of enjoyment.
2. Scholastics – good academics provide the foundation of a good career. Good students have lots of choices in life. We believe that good students make better water polo players and aquatics sports provide discipline for many facets of a life well lived.
3. Citizenship – character does matter to us. We believe that good character provides the model for good citizenship. Amateur sports teaches some lessons of life – how to win with class and lose with dignity, how to try your hardest and fail, but most of all how to try hard… and keep trying… and keep trying… and despite the odds… find room to improve and help others.
