Team Alberta will incorporate a holistic approach to training, including basic dry land training, swimming conditioning, basic water polo skills and life skills (travel management, nutrition, tactics and video review).

Play Time:
Team Alberta coaches will decide play time based on a number of variables including but not limited to : external conditions such as heat, and game schedule, individual factors such as injuries or illness, and tournament importance.
