At Miramonte Water Polo Club, we believe that greatness in sport — and in life — isn’t built by talent alone. It’s built through intention, discipline, and purpose. What sets us apart is a shared belief that greatness comes from pushing your own limits — and helping others reach theirs. The most impactful programs do more than develop athletes — they prepare people. We’ve seen firsthand how the demands of water polo — the commitment, the adversity, the teamwork — instill lessons that last far beyond competition. These are the same lessons that fuel success in school, leadership, relationships, and life.

And while we take development seriously, we never lose sight of the joy that makes this sport worth pursuing. Elite performance thrives when athletes are engaged, motivated, and enjoying the process. That’s why fun is intentionally built into our culture — not as a reward, but as a driver of growth. Whether it’s the thrill of skill progression, the energy of high-intensity scrimmages, or the laughter that comes from shared effort, we create space for joy in every phase of the journey. Because athletes who love the game stay in it longer, work harder, and rise higher.

What makes us different isn’t just how we coach — it’s why we coach. Our program directors are guided by three core principles that reflect both our journey in the sport and our commitment to helping others grow through it:

• Service – A relentless dedication to every athlete’s development and well-being, placing their growth at the heart of everything we do.

• Wisdom – Sharing hard-earned insight from years of elite-level play and coaching, fostering deeper understanding, adaptability, and leadership.

• Counsel – Mentorship that challenges athletes to aim higher, reflect deeper, and pursue their best version of themselves in and out of the pool.

These values shape every aspect of our program — from our high-performance training environment to the way we teach, compete, and lead. Our mission is to help athletes reach their full potential through elite coaching, structured competition, and a growth-driven culture that emphasizes technical mastery, game intelligence, and personal accountability.

Our coaching philosophy is rooted in understanding, not just execution. We train athletes to read the game, anticipate plays, and control tempo — reinforcing a leg-driven, positionally sound style of play that builds strength, balance, and endurance from the ground up. Every coach on our staff has both played and coached at the highest levels of the game and brings unmatched strategic insight and competitive experience to every session.

But at the heart of Miramonte is a deeper purpose: using water polo as a platform to build not just skilled players, but resilient, confident young women who lead with character. We believe success is measured not only by personal excellence, but by the positive impact athletes have on those around them.

This is the Miramonte difference:

A place where coaching is mentorship, training is transformation, fun fuels growth, and competition is preparation for something greater.
