Welcome to Pacific Storm Water Polo
 

Pacific Storm Water Polo Club is based in Vancouver, British Columbia. We train out of pools throughout the Metro Vancouver region. The club and its coaches are dedicated to develop and inspire water polo players to realize their full potential as individuals and as team members in the sport at its highest competitive levels. Our programs are gender specific, for both girls and boys in age categories from 12U to 22U.

The strength of our programs is based on the excellence and professionalism of our coaching staff.   Our Women's Programs are led by Head Coach Kalee Harris with her Coaching Team of Athina Vezeos, and Jay Thompson. The Men's Programs are led by Head Coach Nikola Maric and his Coaching Team of Daniel Taussan, Djordje Sikimic, John Kaukinen, John Stockdale and Jordan Boonzaayer. In addition, our goalies will get specialized focused training from Shane Pope and Kim Bassett.

Athletes are placed into training groups according to their age and skill level so that they can develop and succeed at an appropriate pace.  Pacific Storm follow's the Canadian Sport Centres' and Water Polo Canada's (WPC) Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L) and Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) Programs.

The 2011-12 Season will see the introduction of a new program sponsored and supported by Water Polo Canada Men's Program for Boys aged 16-18 years (born in 1996 1994 in the first season)- the National Development Premier League (NDPL) an LTAD Training to Win Program.  Pacific Storm is proud to have been invited to participate in this league, an invitation that speaks to the rich history of success the club has had in National Club Competitions, in developing water polo players and the qualifications of its coaching staff. At this time, only members of Pacific Storm may take part in the NDPL in BC. Details of the club's programs can be found in the program tables on our website. January-April registration is now open.
