Welcome!
The water polo team Mannekenfish was established in 2012 within BGS with the objective to develop this collective sport and share good times in a friendly atmosphere.
Practicing water polo requires good swimming skills and to feel confident in the water. Nevertheless, this sport is accessible to all and our first objective is to learn, build up our technique and last but not least, develop a true team spirit.
The training consists in different parts: warm up in the water, followed by practical and tactic exercises. Usually, the training ends with a little friendly match.
The team also participates in tournament, friendly games and training camps in Belgium and abroad. A good opportunity to travel, have fun and meet new people!
The 2026-2027 season started in September 2026. Currently, the team is full and we are not accepting new players without experience. Players with experience can join a tryout session and will have the chance to join our advance team if they meet the requirements.
You can also join us on our Facebook page Mannekenfish.
You can also follow us on our Instagram page Mannekenfish.
You can also visit us on our dedicated webpage for the Mannekenfish team.

Players are assigned to two different levels and will have a mixed training per week and one dedicated training per level. Pool allocation will rotate during the year.
The trainings take place from September to June incl. There is a special summer program for July and August.
New players that never played water polo have to do the bootcamp. Players who have played before can contact us to plan a trial session. Then, if you wish to continue, we ask you to commit to taking part until the end of the season, given tournaments and team events.
