Who should go out for the water polo team?
Anyone interested in being an athlete at Torrey Pines High School should go out for the water polo team. Most players have little or no water polo experience when they start. Experience in swimming (you’ll do a lot of this), basketball, and/or baseball are good because water polo requires passing and catching a ball while swimming or treading water. Water polo is a team sport, so any experience playing on a team is an asset. Surfing, body boarding and body surfing help because you’re comfortable in the water. If you’re not a strong swimmer, you can still go out for this team. Several players on the team started out with very little swimming experience and they ended up being valuable members of the team. Come check it out, it’s a very fun sport and a great way to get connected at Torrey Pines.
