Level 1 The Neptune Programme Under 10 Boys/Girls born 2008/2007 We will offer a programme that combines Water Safety with Mini Water Polo development. We are passionate about the safety of children in the water and we believe delivering a programme that encompasses fundamental water safety with mini polo will give children the skills to be safe in deep water. We also believe that learning how to move in the water will eventually make them better and more skilled water polo players. Who will we work with? We will work with the local Flippa Ball League to run a Deep Water Polo programme for all local primary schools. This will complement the Flippa Ball League. We will give the opportunity for schools to sign up as a general programme on Sundays and will also offer an individual program for the those who would like to do it. What skills will they learn?
