When is practice?

We are a year round club. Kids 14 and under are currently practicing Mondays and Wednesdays from 6-8pm. We are going to be welcoming back high schoolers on December 1st. Starting December 1st, we will practice 4 days a week, Mondays-Thursdays. Practice for 14 years old and younger will be 5:30-7pm. Practice for high schoolers will be from 7:00-8:30pm. We will offer 2 and 4 days week pricing.

Can my kid try it out before we sign up?

Absolutely! We allow kids to try it out for 1 week for free before signing up. You can reach out if you have questions, or just show up to our next practice with your child ready to get in the water! All they need is their swimsuit and towel!

What does it cost?

We charge $190/month for 2 days a week and $240/month for 4 days a week, which includes all practices and tournaments. New players may start with a reduced introductory rate (tournaments not included) for up to 2 months while they try out club water polo. After that, their rate will include tournaments, as they are an essential part of learning the sport. Traveling to tournaments isn’t mandatory, but the cost is included in monthly dues. Non-tournament price is $100/ 2 days a week and $150/ 4 days a week.

Are there sibling discounts?

Yes! We discount $10 off for each additional sibling.

How old do you have to be to join?

We welcome athletes ages 7-18 years old. We do require that anyone who wants to join can swim without needing assistance.

How do tournaments work?

Tournaments are an integral part of water polo. You learn in practice but then it’s very important to play in tournaments and use what you have learned. Traveling to tournaments isn’t mandatory, but it will be included in the price you pay. If you’re interested, the calendar in your SportMember account will show all the upcoming tournaments for your team. You can click on “attend” to sign up. All the information for that tournament will be posted on that event and in the chat of that event on Sportmember.

When is water polo season?

We are a year round club, so it’s always water polo season! We participate in various tournaments and leagues all year long, but our biggest events of the year are Junior Olympics (mid-late July) and Junior Olympic qualifiers (early to mid June).
