The Aquatic Games: 2018
The Aquatic Games is an Olympic-style youth tournament for kids 13 and under. Created by 5-Time Olympian & Silver Medalist Tony Azevedo. Last year was such a success that he brought it back this year even better! With more special guests like our own Genai Kerr and Olympic Coach David Salo.
This will be a fun, festive atmosphere where the participants will get to enjoy a wide range of aquatic sports. The Games are positioned to become the most widely recognized and premier aquatic event in the world. There will even be an Opening Ceremonies!
The age categories for water polo are 13U boys, 13U girls, and 11U boys, girls & co-ed. Swimming athletes must be between 11- 16 years old.
The 2018 Games will be held in at Long Beach State University (CSULB). The City of Long Beach is regarded as the “Aquatics Capital of the USA” and has produced more Olympians than any other in the nation. CSULB is one of the top schools in the state and has a strong aquatics program. Participants have the option to stay overnight at the CSULB dorms as well as tour the campus.
The event brings together teams & individuals from across the globe and is designed to inspire the next generation of great water polo players and swimmers. The Games offer ample opportunity for elite top-level play, but go a step beyond other youth tournaments by providing a fun, festive atmosphere complete with an Opening Ceremonies, two 2-hour elite clinics and a 4-hour educational series.
We expect to have hundreds of participants this year. Because we understand it can be hard for entire teams to commit to the event, we offer a unique way for individuals or small groups to participate on ALL STAR teams. Family members and coaches are welcome to join in the fun as well.
Come join us for a truly unique few days of top-level water polo, swimming and family fun!
