RTC

Regional Training Centres (RTC) are an integral part of the National Performance program for Water Polo.  There are 20 RTC around the country and three in the  North West; Lancaster City, City of Manchester and Huyton. The RTC set up is for players who have reached specific training competencies based on LongTerm Athlete Development (LTAD) .

From the RTC players can be put forward to go to a one week National Academy Camp which is held during the summer holidays at Millfield School. From this the players can be selected for the England Talent squad.
