Kroc Water Polo Club

The Kroc CDA Water Polo Club is a co-ed group with a solid core of adult and high-school players, with skills ranging from novice to former collegiate, ages 14 to 70.
We also have Junior Water Polo (ages 7-10) and Development Water Polo (ages 10-17)

All practices take place here at The Kroc Center in Coeur d'Alene in our 25m x 25yd deep water competition pool. We play against teams from Missoula, Moscow, Pullman, Boise, Seattle and occasionally travel to tournaments further away.

We are always looking for more players from the Spokane/greater Coeur d'Alene area. The Kroc Center is helping to keep the costs to participate with our club minimal so that everyone can participate. The only requirements to join are to be able to swim 100 yards non-stop, tread water for a couple minutes and bring a great attitude to learn and have fun with a fantastic group of people!

Club Goals

• Build a fun, supportive, active water polo community in the greater North Idaho/Coeur d’Alene area.
• Develop water polo programs for Junior (ages 7-10), Development (10–17), High School (ages 14-20) and Masters water polo.
• Hold water polo clinics and host tournaments.
