Play Water Polo in Amsterdam
Here is a summary of the Dutch text on all the other pages. It is super compact but it has all you need. Really.
The Water polo Club Club
SG Mokum is the biggest water polo club in Amsterdam and the surrounding area. We are a collaboration of four local water polo clubs. We joined forces for various benefits. The most important to ensure that water polo would remain available for all levels and ages within Amsterdam. We started our successful collaboration in 2022. And it has been great fun too.
As a Dutch club, the majority of our members are Dutch. However, teams do have players from across the world. Of course it would be great if you would learn some Dutch (and you will whilst here ;-) ), but speaking English works. We train across various pools in Amsterdam, on multiple days of the week, with matches usually on Saturdays, but occasionally on a Sunday.
The national water polo league competition operates between September to April, with public and school holidays considered with lighter summer training and friendly tournements
SG Mokum: 22 teams
We have 22 teams, for various abilities and all ages groups. The two youngest teams are for enthusiastic beginners whom are under 9 years old and we have ten more teams for young players who want to play water polo. For adults, we have seven men and three women teams. Find the full list here. The page is in Dutch, but with the 6 words mini course below, you should understand.
🇳🇱 6 words course: Heren = Men. Dames = Women. Jeugd = Youth. Jongens = Boys. Meisjes = Girls. Gemengd = Mixed.
Training times
Training times can be found here!
Again the page is in Dutch, but we are sure you can work it out. Especially with the 5 words mini course below and combined with the words in the paragraph above. If not, send us an e-mail.
🇳🇱 5 words course: Maandag = Monday. Dinsdag = Tuesday. Woensdag = Wednesday. Donderdag = Thursday. Vrijdag = Friday. That is manageable, right?
Our swimming pools
We train in 5 swimming pools across Amsterdam, so there should be one near you. Here is an overview of all the locations.
Most home matches are played in Sportfondsenbad Oost and the Sloterparkbad.
Home matches for Dames 3 are in Sportplaza Mercator.
🇳🇱 5 words course: Betaald parkeren = paid parking. Gratis parkeren = free parking. Op parkeerterrein = in parking lot. Clubhuis = club house.
