Water Polo Tryout Information

All interested athletes need to register for a try out before signing up for the two-week trial membership. You cannot show up to a practice asking to tryout and you cannot sign up for a two week trial without attending a tryout. Trial membership are for those brand new to the sport of water polo. There are three tryout group options. 

Tryout Groups

Grades K-8th Boys and Girls  Our primary goal for this age range is to introduce water polo to kids and expose them to a positive team environment. Beginner level water polo practices include a lot of swimming because you have to be a strong swimmer to be able to perform water polo fundamentals.
For 7th-8th graders, previous summer swim league or club swimming experience is recommended for this age group, but not required. See below on how to register.
Grades 9th-12th Boys Contact Laurie Dunlap our Admin with a tryout request at [email protected]g.
Grades 9th-12th Girls Contact Coach Courtney Johnson with a tryout request at [email protected].


What To Wear: Your child should arrive in their swimsuit. Bring a towel and goggles.

The trial program is intended for those new to the sport. Those who have played with other teams previously need contact us first before joining.  
 

Step 2: Register online at USA Water Polo for the two week trial membership. 

A. Why do I need to join USA Water Polo? We are a USA Water Polo Club and annual USAWP membership is required for all those participating in our program for. USA Water Polo offers a two-week free trial. After the two weeks are up and if the child would like to continue in our program then upgrading to the bronze level annual membership ($60 fee for 2025) will be necessary.
