Titans Winter Camp 2024 - 2025

2024-2025 Ottawa Titans Holiday Water Polo Camp Recap 

This year’s Holiday Camp was an incredible success, with 22 eager young athletes diving in to improve their skills and have a blast! The camp showcased a mix of seasoned water polo players and fresh talent, creating a dynamic environment for learning and growth. 

A special shout-out goes to our experienced Academy B players – Hugo, Myra, Berke, and Agostino – who stepped up as leaders, guiding and inspiring our younger athletes. Your support and mentorship made a real difference! 

Theme of the Year: “MOVEMENT” 

This year, we focused on the art of movement – understanding where to be and when to act during gameplay. By the end of the camp, athletes gained valuable insights into game setup and spatial awareness, skills that will elevate their performance in the pool. 

Daily Highlights 

  • Athletes were divided into three teams and rotated through three daily stations plus an exciting game session each day. 

  • Dryland workouts, including bootcamp and strength training, ensured a comprehensive approach to building fitness and resilience. 

  • Sessions on nutrition, sleep, leadership and goal setting were highly interactive. 

Building Skills and Friendships 

Beyond drills and games, the camp was filled with unforgettable moments, from forming human pyramids (a Titan’s classic!) to forging lifelong friendships. But make no mistake – the real focus was on improving gameplay and teamwork. 

Personalized Feedback 

Each athlete received a report highlighting their strengths, areas for improvement, and goals to work toward. Water testing and dryland assessments gave athletes measurable insights into their progress. 

A Big Thank You to Our Coaches 

None of this would have been possible without our dedicated coaching team. Trinity, Corry, Cassandra, and Noah brought their passion and expertise to the pool every day, ensuring every athlete left feeling more confident and skilled. 

As we look ahead to the March Break and Summer Camps, we can’t wait to see everyone back in the water! Get ready for more excitement, challenges, and fun as we continue to grow together. Whether you’re returning or joining for the first time, we promise an unforgettable experience that’s worth every moment.
