WPE team is incredibly kind and helpful. Masterclasses with Spanish national team members were awesome and the aquatic center is gorgeous. Just be prepared for very long days and limited sleep, with many late night dinners and early mornings. Also, meals will be very difficult for anyone that has any kind of dietary restrictions. As someone who doesn’t eat meat, it was pretty frustrating and exhausting constantly struggling to find something to eat on the limited menus offered. The Spanish diet is very heavy on meat and seafood.

WPE quite simply provided our team with a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our trip to Barcelona was the first travel trip of its kind for our club, so we were inexperienced in terms of what to expect. We had a million questions, we had things that needed to change, and plans that had to pivot. Many of our girls had never traveled internationally! The WPE team was exceptionally patient and accommodating every step of the way, and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, and that the logistics for our trip went as smooth as possible. Our hosts, Pere, Alex, and Martina, were absolutely first class. Our team felt like we made lifelong friends. The water polo instruction and experience exceeded all expectations. The Masterclasses in the mornings were exceptional: guided by Olympians and National Team athletes, our girls and coaches left Barcelona feeling as if they gained innumerable skills in the pool, and were thrilled with the high level one on one coaching that they were given every day. The scrimmages in the afternoon with the local clubs were tough but fun, and we returned home feeling like our team had become tougher because of the work we put in battling the high level of play by the local clubs. They especially had fun trading shirts and suits with some of the local girls! We were also in awe at the beautiful facilities we were able to visit every day, and having Club Natacio Barcelona as a home base every morning was incredible. The CNB facility is truly unparalleled. Finally, being able to experience world-class water polo with the beautiful backdrop of Barcelona was indeed a pleasure. The sightseeing tours were incredible, and we only wish we had more time to explore the city more in depth. Next time! Again, our guides and hosts cannot be thanked enough: our group felt truly special and well cared for every step of the way. This trip created memories well beyond the skills they gained in the pool, and we are excited for the club to continue the relationship with WPE so we can start planning the next trip!

My son had a wonderful experience. He said the staff, and accommodations were good. The water polo, and training was fun and challenging. He really enjoyed the tours and the food.

My son had an incredible experience at the Water Polo Experience Clinic! The coaching team, including the amazing Xavi Garcia, was beyond impressive. The clinic was well-organized, engaging, and packed with valuable skills and insights that have already boosted my son’s confidence and passion for the sport. Xavi's expertise and approachability made the sessions both educational and inspiring. It’s clear that the entire team is deeply committed to developing young athletes. We’re already looking forward to the next clinic. Highly recommend this to anyone serious about water polo!

The Xavi Garcia High School Water Polo Clinic delivers an exceptional experience for aspiring athletes. As a former Olympic medalist and world-class player, Garcia brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to the pool, making this clinic both educational and inspiring. The “Set D” drills were a standout feature, emphasizing positional awareness, decision-making under pressure, and effective movement around the center forward. These drills not only improved players’ defensive strategies but also highlighted the nuances of controlling tempo and reading the game, a vital skill for advancing athletes. Passing drills, another clinic highlight, focused on accuracy, speed, and timing. Garcia’s step-by-step breakdowns made advanced concepts accessible, even for newer players, while challenging seasoned athletes to refine their techniques. His emphasis on communication and body positioning during passes elevated this segment beyond standard drills. In terms of value, the clinic is outstanding. The cost is more than reasonable for the personalized instruction, hands-on feedback, and opportunity to learn from a player of Garcia’s caliber. Parents and athletes alike praised the affordability without compromising on quality. Overall, Xavi Garcia’s clinic provides an invaluable experience for any high school water polo player looking to sharpen their skills and deepen their understanding of the game.
