Women's Water Polo Club
Grand Valley State University Women's Club Water Polo welcomes all who have the spirit to give the sport their all! No experience required, just a competitive energy and a good attitude. We are a winter sport, and our competitive season is the Winter semester, so we don't practice or compete during the Fall. However, our club is committed year-round! The fall semester is filled with team bonding, fundraising, and other fun events, so if you are considering playing water polo don't hesitate to reach out!
