Summer 2023
Programs
This Summer, the Titans will offer a mix of free sessions, structured practices (Swim & Play I, Swim & Play II, I Love Water Polo, Academy and U17/U19 Competitive), the Summer Recreational League at Carleton University, and for the first time in many years, a Titans Summer Camp!!!
All registrations will be done via the RAMP system.
Training spots are limited. If demand exceeds our planned capacity, we will try and grow a program’s capacity by assigning additional coaches. RAMP will offer you to be added to the waitlist once a program has reached capacity. There is no cost to be added to the waitlist, so do add your name as additional training spots will be awarded in the order in which individuals were added to the waitlist. Better yet, avoid any disappointment and register ASAP for the Summer Programs!
All Summer program fees have been set to reflect that many individuals will miss about 30% of their practices/games because of Summer vacations.
Below is a description of the different program options for this Summer.

Summer Camp
The Titans are delighted to reintroduce their Summer Camp. This year, the camp will be offered at the Nepean Sportsplex from August 14 to August 18 and will target individuals born between 2008 and 2012 inclusively (individuals born in 2007 and 2013 may be accepted by exception). The camp can accommodate a maximum of 50 participants.
The camp will run from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Each day will include 2 sessions in the pool, 1 non-aquatic sport activity and a CPR/AED class. At the end of the camp, every participant who passes the test will receive a CPR-C/AED certificate. These are precious life saving skills!
The cost for the camp is $335. To request a spot for the camp, you will have to sign up for the “Summer Camp – Request a Spot” option in RAMP (no cost to request a spot). Once your spot has been confirmed, you will receive a password by email which you can then use to formally register for the “Summer Camp – Registration” option in RAMP.

There will likely be some overlap between the above practices and the Summer League. Those who register for both the Summer League and a Summer Program will receive a discount on their Summer League fees as a “credit” for the practices they will miss.
Recreational Summer League
The Summer League is a suitable option for stronger Academy athletes, competitive athletes, House League athletes and adult athletes (ex-competitive and recreational). The plan for the Summer League is to divide the participants into 2 tiers (2 teams per tier), based on the participants’ water polo skills and experience. The Summer League will run from July 3rd to August 24th and each team will play two games per week.
Games will be played at the Carleton University pool between 6 pm to 7:30 pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesday and/or Thursdays (2 x 40-minute games per day). Each team will play 2 games per week.
The cost to participate in the Summer League is $155 (participants who are not yet registered as an athlete with Water Polo Canada and Ontario Water Polo will be charged an additional $22.25 membership fee).
For those athletes who are also registered for the Summer Academy/Competitive program, enter “Practices + League” in the Promo Code box for the program fees. This will reduce the Summer League fees by $15 to make up for the partial overlap with their other Summer practices.
Participants will be informed of which team and tier they have been assigned to shortly before the league starts.
