WELCOME TO SLAP'S WEBSITE!
2024 summer registration for St. Louis Area Polo is now open. We have 5 different age groups training this summer. The summer session starts June 3rd and ends July 30th.
Athletes going to Junior Olympics should register with the training group according to their grade. Example: An athlete on the 16U JO team that is an incoming junior should register with the SLAP 18’s training group. An athlete that is on the 16U JO team that is an incoming sophomore should register with the SLAP 16’s training group. JO athletes on the 18U Boys (A & B), 16U Boys (A & B) and High School Girls should expect to train 2-3 mornings per week with their respective JO teams at the Shaw Park Aquatic Center.

Parents should plan on dropping their children off in the north parking lot which is parking lot A on the campus map: https://www.micds.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/campus-map.pdf. The pool is located in building 29 and athletes should enter through the front entrance. Athletes driving themselves should use the north lot for parking.
