Waterpolo

There are no professional water polo teams in the US so college is the highest level of competition on offer. There are around 48 colleges and universities that offer water polo programs. Water polo is among the fastest growing youth and college sports in the US.

High school water polo is popular in states with warm weather, most notably California and Florida, but is played in many east north central and northeastern states.

Junior college water polo competition is mainly in California, where 31 schools offer programs.

In the US there are 120+ college varsity men’s and women’s water polo teams.
