Water Polo Requirements:
All athletes need a USAWP membership (Gold, Silver or
Bronze level). They cannot participate in practices without this. USA
Water Polo will charge fees for membership.
Expectations:
• Athletes must:
- be able to swim 100 yards freestyle and tread water for 30 seconds
- have a growth mindset, including willingness to listen and learn.
- have stamina for a 2 hour practice
- respect the facilities, teammates and coaches
Scrimmages and Tournaments:
SMAC teams will participate in competitive leagues and tournaments. We hope to be entering teams in the JOs, the Santa Cruz Classic tournament, the West Valley Tournament and the Futures Super Finals. Our participation in such leagues and tournaments is contingent on having enough interested players, but we cannot guarantee participation for all athletes in competitions. You will see a question regarding the JOs on the enrollment form. Once we have those details we will decide how many teams to enter. Rosters will be decided by the coaches based on factors including capacity, availability, commitment, attitude, skills and fitness.
We will also be creating opportunities for all athletes to play in scrimmages at practice and via friendly scrimmages with local teams.
