Helpful Insights On Water Polo

With the fall sports season ramping up, it’s worth focusing on the majority of athletes who finish with a loss. From youth leagues to the Olympics—where nearly 10,000 athletes left Paris without a medal, sports demand grueling training, heartbreak, and inevitable failure. Yet, as Stoic philosophers and modern psychologists remind us, this suffering is precisely what shapes character, meaning, and even happiness. Sports give us a chosen form of hardship that teaches resilience, purpose, and the path to true mastery.

With the bulk of the summer season behind us and National Junior Olympics approaching, goalies need to adjust our training accordingly. Here are a few things to focus on in the remaining days of your preparation to maximize your performance in the goal.

When you're coaching a water polo team or organizing a club, getting gear for your athletes shouldn't feel like a full-time job. Between collecting sizes, ordering suits, tracking down payments, and making sure everyone gets what they need on time—traditional ordering methods can be a logistical headache.

That’s why more coaches and program directors are turning to custom team stores. And at KAP7, we’ve created a streamlined, easy-to-use system that makes outfitting your team simple, stress-free, and professional.

As with just about any discipline you will come across, mastery is built on repetition. Put another way, every discipline requires discipline if you are to excel.

World Aquatics has announced a multi-year partnership with aquatics equipment manufacturer KAP7, which will run through the LA28 Olympic Games and beyond—bringing exciting new experiences for water polo athletes and fans worldwide.

The North Coast Section, CIF (NCSCIF) and KAP7 International, Inc. (KAP7) have announced the signing of an agreement that names KAP7 as the Official Water Polo Ball of the North Coast Section through 2030.

At KAP7, we are always looking for ways to celebrate and support the water polo community. That’s why we are thrilled to announce our latest partnership with Sports Collection Jewelry, a brand that creates stunning, high-quality jewelry pieces dedicated to the sports we love. This collaboration brings beautifully crafted water polo-themed jewelry directly to our fans, now available both at water polo events and on our website.

Often times at our Goalie Combines, “Expert Goalie Coaches”—goalies who have trained with us who now play in college—visit and work with goalies in the water. We did this last year with Griffen Price, now playing at Stanford, who trained with us consistently for 7 years, starting as a 6th grader.

When it comes to water polo balls, grip, durability, and performance separate the best from the rest. Among the top brands—KAP7, Mikasa, and Delfina—one ball clearly stands above the competition.
