Vanderbilt Water Polo Club

Purpose

The Vanderbilt Water Polo Club is a coed club sport organization. The club water polo program is open to any Vanderbilt student or staff member, regardless of age, sex, race, or religious affiliation. We accept players of any ability level, including beginners. We generally play as a coed team, however, if we have enough participants of each sex, we will try to participate in a few men's only and women's only games with other schools.

We are not a swim club and do not teach competitive swimming. The ability to swim well is an important part of the sport so you must be a strong swimmer to participate. We do a good amount of swim conditioning and will help you get into shape to play water polo.

Practice/Competition

We compete against other colleges and universities such as UT, The University of Florida, Florida State University, and Ohio State University, to name a few. We travel once or twice each semester, and we try to have several home games and a home tournament each year. The highlight of our spring season is usually our trip to the Tulane University Mardi Gras tournament in New Orleans in early February.

We practice three times a week: 7 - 8:30pm Tuesdays and Thursdays along with a 1:00 - 3:00pm practice on Sundays.

Dues

Club dues are either $120 for an entire year commitment or $80 per semester. This money is added to our budget and spent for entry fees, travel expenses, home tournaments, and other expenses. We also will order team shirts (and hopefully warm-up windbreakers this year!) out of fees.
