If you have an athlete that may be interested in playing water polo in college, feel free to check out a new website that was recently created called, PoloVolo. It is a website that is designed to connect high school water polo players with coaches & other athletes around the country. The organization sponsors a variety of events such as college meet & greets and water polo combines. While our organization is not connected to this site, we wanted to share this information with anyone who may be interested. (There is a free 30-day trial which enables athletes to check out the services before paying any fees.) The link to the website is:
polovolo.com
Check out our Events page or Calendar for upcoming tournaments and opportunities for out-of-season play.

Visit our new Team Spirit Wear Stores!    Click Here to view each team's store.

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.
