The
national Waterpolo Academy took place again in the National 50 Metre Swimming
Pool, University Arena, Limerick from Wednesday 20th August to
Sunday 24th August. The age for participants was: born 1991 to 95. This
year, over 100 young men and women attended the Academy. In addition to
numerous pool sessions, the participants underwent training in various land
conditioning including Circuit Training, Weight Training, Strength and
Fitness Conditioning. There were also sessions on Diet and Nutrition,
Motivation and several waterpolo tactical talks. The
Academy was run under the Direction of Conor Sheridan and Tadhg Murphy and
notable coaches were in attendance, including Brian O’Dwyer and Victor Kirk. This
year, we had an outside head coach for the first time. Dante Dettamanti is
the hugely successful former Head Coach of Stanford University and was our
Head Coach at the Academy. Dante was a great success and players and coaches
learned a great deal – Thanks Dante. The National Waterpolo Academy is run with the help and
support of Swim Ireland and the Irish Sports Council. Without this generous
support, it would be very difficult - and expensive - to run. Thanks very
much to both bodies.
