My son had an incredible experience at the Water Polo Experience Clinic! The coaching team, including the amazing Xavi Garcia, was beyond impressive. The clinic was well-organized, engaging, and packed with valuable skills and insights that have already boosted my son’s confidence and passion for the sport. Xavi's expertise and approachability made the sessions both educational and inspiring. It’s clear that the entire team is deeply committed to developing young athletes. We’re already looking forward to the next clinic. Highly recommend this to anyone serious about water polo!

The Xavi Garcia High School Water Polo Clinic delivers an exceptional experience for aspiring athletes. As a former Olympic medalist and world-class player, Garcia brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to the pool, making this clinic both educational and inspiring.
The “Set D” drills were a standout feature, emphasizing positional awareness, decision-making under pressure, and effective movement around the center forward. These drills not only improved players’ defensive strategies but also highlighted the nuances of controlling tempo and reading the game, a vital skill for advancing athletes.
Passing drills, another clinic highlight, focused on accuracy, speed, and timing. Garcia’s step-by-step breakdowns made advanced concepts accessible, even for newer players, while challenging seasoned athletes to refine their techniques. His emphasis on communication and body positioning during passes elevated this segment beyond standard drills.
In terms of value, the clinic is outstanding. The cost is more than reasonable for the personalized instruction, hands-on feedback, and opportunity to learn from a player of Garcia’s caliber. Parents and athletes alike praised the affordability without compromising on quality.
Overall, Xavi Garcia’s clinic provides an invaluable experience for any high school water polo player looking to sharpen their skills and deepen their understanding of the game.

Definitely not what we were hoping for. Too much time was wasted at the start of the event with coaches hanging out on the wall. A clear game plan should have been discussed long before the start of the event. When I asked my son if they helped with his shot he said no. Definitely not worth the money and time spent in traffic.

I can't say enough good things about the water polo camp my son attended! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this camp was expertly organized and led by passionate coaches who truly care about the athletes. The training sessions were intense yet fun, blending skill development with teamwork in an encouraging environment.
My son not only improved his water polo skills but also gained confidence and made lifelong friends. The camp's focus on sportsmanship and personal growth set it apart from others we've experienced. The facilities were top-notch, and the daily schedule kept the kids engaged and excited.
If you're looking for a water polo camp that delivers both skill-building and unforgettable memories, I wholeheartedly recommend this one! My son can't wait to go back next year!

Hello, I had a lifetime memory. Mr. Denes Vargas shared his knowledge and taught players in a precise, understandable and exceptional way. Both verbally and showing his Olympic and Professional quality. Thanks to Waterpolo Experience, Barcelona Lions WPC (Dani Cercols) & Mr. Denes Vargas for their availability and great learning opportunity.

Both of my kids (14g and 15b) attended the Thanksgiving "Waterpolo Experience" waterpolo camp Pere, Steve and Xavi were fantastic. The training really opened up my kids eyes to new ideas and techniques and ways to do waterpolo. They had fun and learned a lot. We're on board for more.
