Camp Director Genai Kerr

Genai Kerr is a USA Water Polo Olympian, coach, mentor, and true ambassador of the sport. Genai was a member of the United States Men's National Water Polo Team for 12 years and played in the 2004 Athens Olympics, 2003 & 2007 Pan American Gold Medal games, and multiple World Championships.
View Genai Kerr's Bio & Water Polo Tips ⟩
He is one of the only athletes in history to compete internationally as a goalie and as a field player. Most recently he was named MVP of the 2012 US Open after he helped Newport Water Polo Foundation win the national championship. Genai has coached at every level, from age group to Division 1 college programs. Over the last 15 years he has run hundreds of camps and impacted thousands of lives.

Surprisingly, Genai got involved in water polo by accident, following the whistles to what he thought was a basketball game and ended up at the pool. He excelled at both water polo and basketball at Coronado High School and received a water polo scholarship to UC Irvine to play under Coach Ted Newland. Genai went on to become a NCAA All-American in 1998 and 1999 and was awarded Big West Conference Male Scholar Athlete of the Year his senior year.

Genai remains active in his community and has become a great role model for aspiring water polo players. He has been a US Ambassador for the USADA (U.S. Antidoping Agency) since 2003 promoting clean sports for young athletes. He was a founding faculty member of the Sage Hill School where he was the Dean of Students, taught art and physical education, and started the aquatic programs. Genai has also created several community outreach programs to help mentor children in lower income households.

Thank you!

March 10, 2017: Thank you Genai this has been the first clinic of this level to come to our area. I hope this is the first of many great clinics and camps to come. My son really enjoyed the one to one training that you gave him. I hope you felt their appreciation. You saw three of the great treasures of our state, great athletes, strong work ethic and snow. You taught them, challenged them and inspired them. We hope to see you again soon.

Great camp!

March 10, 2017: Thank you for putting on this camp. My son has not stopped talking about all the cool things he learned. He is also very sore from the many great exercises he learned. He can't wait to teach the rest of his team the many new drills and skills learned. Hope to return again soon.
