Season
Due to the distance between schools and teams, our schedule consists of several, larger tournaments with several games in lieu of weekly, single matches. Our main, ranked season runs through the Fall semester but we also attend several unranked tournaments in the Spring.
Conference
We participate in the Atlantic Conference of the Collegiate Water Polo Association, a nonprofit organization.
Tryouts
Try-outs are held shortly after Student Organization Night. Held over several practices, they serve more as an orientation to the to the sport, it's rules, and physical demands.
Membership Requirements
There are no requirements or previous experience needed for membership and newcomers are always welcome! Contact our President or Coach for more info.
Dues
Dues are taken once for the year (Fall and Spring semesters) and are determined by the size of the team but usually fall between $100-200. Occasionally, further funds are needed for special events, in these cases we increase fundraising activities, solicit parents for donations, and/or players pay out of pocket.
Practice Schedule
We practice 2 hours a day, 5 days a week at the URec pool: Sunday 6-8pm, Monday 7-9pm, Tuesday 7-9pm, Wednesday 9-11pm, and Thursday 6-8pm.
