Roosevelt Boys Water Polo

Try Out information for the 2026 Fall Season:

We are planning to have 1 Varsity and 1 JV squad this year.  The Varsity Squad will be made up of 14 athletes, with the potential for up to 2 to join at the end of the season for games. We are expecting about 25 athletes to play this year. Selection will be done by coaches. The following criteria will be used to determine teams. 

• Swimming ability

• Leg strength

• Passing/ shooting ability

• Water polo game IQ

 Please note that prior Varsity team participation does not guarantee a position on the Varsity team. The Varsity team will be determined by the above criteria, and not by grade level. All players will be expected to adhere to the player commitment letter,  and maintain a gpa of 2.1 to play. Teams will be determined within the first 1-2 weeks of practice. 

Whichever team you play on, we will have practices together and often scrimmage. JV will have a truncated game after almost all varsity games, and games most Saturdays. JV will also have a tournament in late October.
