Water polo is a team sport requiring strength, endurance and tenacity. Ball handling skills and exceptional swimming ability are especially important with the mobile, fast paced style of the game played. Each team consists of seven players in the pool at one time; six swimmers and one goalkeeper. Players tread water the entire game and cannot touch the bottom or sides of the pool. With the exception of the goalkeeper they may handle the ball with only one hand. This club welcomes competitive and non- competitive players, and our skill levels vary from the very experienced, to the brand new. We play in a number of exhibition games throughout the season as well as travel to various tournaments. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.
*All clubs memberships require a prerequisite base athletics membership. Currently enrolled, on-campus students already have this prerequisite membership during the Fall and Winter semesters. For all other community participants and students attending classes in the summer months, a monthly base membership is required for purchase before enrolling into a club*
