How to start your own water polo club

If you're interested in starting your own water polo club in your area, here are some steps you can take:

1. Research your area to determine if there is a need for a water polo club. This can include looking at the availability of local pools and other facilities, as well as checking to see if there are already existing water polo clubs in the area.

2. Develop a plan for your club. This can include identifying your target audience (e.g. youth, adults, competitive players), setting goals and objectives, and developing a budget and fundraising plan.

3. Find a suitable location for your club. This will likely be a pool with enough space and depth to accommodate water polo games and practices. You may need to work with local schools, community centers, or other organizations to secure a location.

4. Recruit players and coaches. You can start by reaching out to people who may be interested in joining your club, such as friends, family members, and other water polo enthusiasts. You can also look for experienced coaches who can help teach and train your players.

5. Promote your club. Once you have a plan and a location, you can start promoting your club to potential players and supporters. This can include creating a website, social media accounts, and other marketing materials, as well as attending local events and networking with other organizations in the area.

6. Work with KAP7 to develop your team store, an online e-commerce store front that sells suits, caps, ball, and equipment. The benefit is that KAP7 will warehouse all items and ship them for you. Simply set up the store at no cost and focus on the important parts, like coaching and growing your team. 

Overall, starting a water polo club in your area can be a rewarding and challenging experience. By following these steps and working hard to build your club, you can create a positive and supportive environment for water polo players in your community.
