ROCKWALL (November 21, 2013) The Rockwall Water Polo Club will be participating in the North Texas Polar Bear League. This league is a great way to get involved in water polo for those who have never played as well as sharpening skills for those who have.

With the high school water polo season coming up in early 2014, this is a perfect opportunity to prepare for it. There will be school grade divisions of 6th grade and under, 8th grade and under and high school grade division.

“I would like to see more girls involved in water polo as our current girls have had some great success in this sport,” said Rockwall Water Polo Club president Jim Hummingbird. “We welcome kids from 8-18 who have basic swim skills to come out and have fun.”

Practices are Tuesday evenings (December 3, 10 & 17 and January 7,14 & 21) from 7 to 8:30pm with three game days scheduled where teams will play two games on each (six total). Come out and try the first practice free to see if you like it.
