Cassandra reflects on SCS Water Polo Camp

I had an amazing experience at the Sydney Catholic Schools Water Polo Camp, where I learned about the different opportunities that water polo has to offer. The camp had several coaches who taught us the techniques and skills required for water polo. 

On the first day, we participated in a land warm-up and water activities. The activities were designed to teach us how to score, pass and swim with our heads up in the pool. Then we listened to a panel of experienced athletes who have played water polo, and had a discussion about where we could play water polo in the future. The panel talk and discussion about pathways helped me understand more about the sport and how to become resilient in the face of sport losses. 

On the second day, we played games against other students, which was very entertaining. The camp made me work hard on skills like egg-beating and jumping out of the water.

Overall, I had a great time and would love to play water polo again in the future.
