2010 CAL WATER POLO CAMP FOR GIRLS



The GIRLS HIGH PERFORMANCE WATER POLO CAMP and the CORSO GOALKEEPER ACADEMY will teach water polo skills and tactics to young women in a team, camp environment with an optimal amount of pool time. One of the most highly respected and successful water polo coaches in the world, Olympic Coach Richard Corso, has developed an environment of excellence for his student-athletes in the great Olympic sport of water polo. This program builds self-esteem and delivers strategies for success both in and out of the water polo pool. The camp will be directed by Cal Assistant Coach and former US National Team participant, Matt Flesher. Flesher's experience both as a competitor as well as a coach are well known throughout the water polo ranks. There will also be a special guest appearance by Coach Maureen O'Toole; Olympic Medalist and Ten Time FINA World Player of the Year.

Camp is held at Spieker Aquatics Complex, home to Golden Bear Waterpolo.
