Summer break
The final junior sessions of the year will take place on Tuesday 18 June (BRA) and Thursday 20 June (Falls).
The junior sessions will resume at the beginning of September. Dates will be confirmed via email, website and social media.
Club summer training
We are currently organising a pre-season camp for junior players. We are being supported by Belfast City Council and are planning the camp with Diamonds Water Polo Club.
We are aiming to hold it over two weeks in the second half of August at RBAI school pool. We are hoping to confirm details within the next week or two and will be in touch.
National Academy
The National Academy will be held in Limerick on 9-11 August. It is focusing on players at U15 and U17 level. Players who have been involved in national or regional squads will be invited to attend by regional coaches. We are in talks with Ulster Water Polo to find out more about this process.
Registration
From the start of next year (September onwards) Swim Ireland will be monitoring club sessions to ensure that all players training and competing are registered, for insurance purposes.
Each child must register with the club and pay an annual fee of £40. This is in addition to club fees payable by all members. Flexible payment options and family rates are available.
Parents’ rota
From the start of next year we will be introducing a parents’ rota for each junior session (one parent to be at each session, taking it in turns over a number of weeks / months).
If you would like to help out then please let us know by speaking to a coach or emailing the club on cuchulainn.waterpolo@gmail.com.
