Every couple months we will be testing the BWPC athletes on certain water polo related skills.   There are several reasons for doing this:

1) It gives the coaches a better gauge of the strength and weaknesses of each athlete and each team.

2) It gives the athlete an idea of how they compare to their peers in certain skills. 

3) Allows the coaches to track improvement with actual numbers

4) Creates motivation for each athlete to improve their times as they continue with the sport

These tests are not used to determine playing time or to "rank" the athletes.  There are many intangibibles in the sport of water polo that can not be measured by tests.

Have fun with the tests and challenge yourself to improve.

The Test results can be opened and downloaded below.

There are 2 tabs on the spreadsheet.  One is the results of each of the tests and the 2nd is the results of each of the 8x100's.

Each age group has a "goal" time that they are trying to get to. That number is in bold in the top line of each age group.  Obviously some athletes are closer to the "goal" than others but really we are looking for improvement from where ever they are at right now.
