FAQS
Do you have to know how to play water polo before trying out?
It is not necessary! We have girls on the team who have never played before trying out for the team. We also have some who have played since their freshman year of high school or even before that. The practices before tryouts are used to teach the rules and skills of water polo. Proficient swimming ability is necessary in order to play on BWWP.
Does BC have a varsity team?
BC does not have a varsity team. Club is the only level offered but we do stay very competitive.
What is the time commitment like?
During our off season the commitment is lesser. When we get into our main season in the spring, the time commitment increases . We have four 2 hour practices every week. Also during the main season we have three big tournaments that each take up a weekend. Players are expected to attend practices and tournaments.
How much does it cost to play?
The club fees vary based on the year, but they are typically around $100 or less. This money helps pay for buses or gas to and from tournaments as well as hotel costs. As a team we participate in fundraising events that Boston College provides for us such as working concessions at a basketball game or cleaning up after a football game. This fundraising keeps our dues very low.
