Virginia Beach High School
WATER POLO LEAGUE
We are volunteer parents juggling family, careers and are ALWAYS looking for any support either time or money, small or large!
Virginia Beach High School Water Polo was established in 2018 and the mission is to expand the sport of water polo in the Tidewater region of Virginia by providing opportunities for athletes to learn and compete in the game of water polo and to foster lifelong health, fitness, teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship.
Water Polo is a fun aquatics sport and great workout. Many Division I, II and III swim programs require their swimmers to participate in Water Polo off season to reduce burnout and improve team morale. In 1900 it became the first team sport in the Olympic Games. Since then the U.S. has won at least 11 medals. Approximately 64 universities have women's NCAA teams and 41 have men's teams.
For many years, Virginia Beach Parks and Recreation has provided a spring youth water polo recreation league serving young athletes in our community.
Building on that foundation, a fall high school water polo season was introduced in 2018 after water polo was approved to operate as a co-ed club sport within Virginia Beach High Schools, creating additional opportunities for students to participate during the school year.
In 2019 the Virginian Pilot featured our program: First Full Season of Club Water Polo Coming to Virginia Beach.
Since then, the fall high school program has grown within the city and at one point hosted as many as seven teams.
Water polo does not happen without the right equipment. Thanks to community generosity, VBHSWP has been able to provide that equipment since 2019. Through fundraising and a grant, VBHSWP purchased three sets of official water polo goals now in place at Virginia Beach Parks & Recreation aquatic centers. The City has been a wonderful partner ever since, storing and maintaining the goals and using them to support clinics and league play. Together we are making sure more kids have the chance to fall in love with this sport.
As participation and community interest in VBHS Water Polo have grown, so has our commitment to building something that lasts. VBHS Water Polo is a nonprofit organization, recognized as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. This structure allows us to support sustainable programming and expand opportunities for athletes across the community.
Contributions to VBHS Water Polo may be tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law under IRC Section 170. Our most recent tax filing, the 2025 990-N e-Postcard, is available 2025 990N e-postcard.
Virginia Beach High School Water Polo is run entirely by a volunteer board of directors, who dedicate countless hours of their own time to keep these opportunities available and accessible to the community.
