HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
Our high school girls program offers three seasonal sessions each year during the winter, spring, and summer months. Athletes in this group are in 9th–12th grade, with 7th and 8th graders eligible to participate with coach approval.
​
Practices are held twice weekly during the winter and spring sessions and three times weekly during the summer session. While all high school girls practice together, training is often divided into smaller groups based on experience level to support appropriate development and individualized instruction.
​
There are no formal prerequisites to join the program; however, athletes should be able to swim 100 yards of continuous front crawl with rhythmic side-breathing and tread water comfortably for five minutes.
​
Each season, we provide a range of local and regional competitive opportunities designed to help athletes apply skills learned in practice to game situations. In keeping with our commitment to balance, weekend competition is typically limited to one to two times per month. Most local and regional tournaments are single-day events held in the Bay Area and Santa Cruz regions, although more substantial multi-day tournaments, such as Junior Olympics, may also be scheduled.

"What an amazing program and opportunity for the Monterey Peninsula. My daughter has been with the program since inception and keeps growing in water polo. We are so thankful for the program especially during the COVID-19 crisis, getting the pool complex was amazing and MBU workouts is/was one of the only outlets available for our student-athletes to stay in shape and in touch with friends and teammates.
We don't know what we would have done without it.
Add to that the ability to practice with the CSUMB women's team.
Show me another program that was practicing with a college team!!"

"I think the best memory I’ve experienced with MBU was JO’s. JO’s really brought the team together and I felt like I became so close with them. I loved playing with them and learned so much from my team and from Coach Burke and Coach Mort. Whether it was playing in the pool or shopping around downtown LA, there were so many great memories that I will never forget."
