Flippa Ball
We are now seeking expressions of interest for Term 2, 3 & 4 for Flippa Ball.
Flippa Ball is most commonly known as ‘Mini Water Polo’. The game is a water based sport and is a great way for kids to be active while building confidence when in the water. The game is for Primary aged school children from years 3, 4, 5 and 6. The sport is played in a shallow pool (1.2m – 1.3m deep) and uses a range of ball skills, swimming and teamwork.
Flippa Ball is a great stepping stone into Water Polo with kids learning the basic skills needed to take on the deep water in Intermediate and Club level.
Location: AUT Millennium (Antares Place, Mairangi Bay)
Time and Day: Times vary between 1:00pm and 7:00pm on Sunday afternoons.
Game duration: Games consist of 2 x 8 minute halves. There is a 1minute break at half time in which teams switch ends.
League Duration and Times: The League runs for a total of 8 weeks each term. No games during school holidays/public holidays.
Should your child have an interest in Flippa Ball, Ms Snellaert will hold a meeting on Wednesday 3 March. We look forward to seeing your child join and extend on their swimming and team skills.
