New water polo club to hold free clinic for beginners

So Cal Tsunami WPC

Kevin Nesbit has always been up for a challenge. He built the girls and boys water polo teams at Alta Loma back to respectability and the girls even won a CIF Division 6 title last fall.

His next challenge – starting an all-encompassing aquatic program.
So the new So Cal Tsunami Water Polo Club is up and running. It is not intended to compete with the more established water polo programs but aims to introduce the sport to youngsters art an earlier age.

“There is a lot of untapped potential out there,” Nesbit said, “Right now a lot of kids aren’t exposed to the sport until high school. By then it can be too later because they have other interests.”

Nesbit will be conducting a free clinic for beginners wanting to learn the basics of the sport. It will be held from 12:30 to 2 p.m. on July 29 at Alta Loma High School. There are sessions for kids 5 to 8, 10-under, 12-under and 14-under.

While the initial start up will be just water polo, Nesbit hopes to add competitive swimming and swim lessons in the future, although those are distant goals right now.

“There is a void in this area and we want to be able to fill that,” said Nesbit, who has worked in the USA Water Polo Olympic Development Program coaching a Cadet team. “This is a growing area and there is a need.”
