In 2018 Water Polo was officially approved as a club sport within the VBCPS system! It is a fall, club sport, with practices and games being held at the Virginia Beach Recreation Centers.
Students from any Virginia Beach high school can participate. We hope to eventually have teams at every high school in the district. For now, students who attend a school that does not have a team may play with other schools until they are able to create teams of their own. If you would like more information about creating a club team in your school or are interested in playing water polo next fall, please contact us at: pahs.waterpolo.vb@gmail.com or go to the registration page for more details. |
