We typically attend 3-4 tournaments each year and we encourage our members to organize a team for any upcoming tournament. Check the USA Water Polo and Water Polo Planet websites – if you see one or know of another you’d like TWPC to attend, let us know! Outside of that, here are the general rules we expect EVERYONE to follow and adhere to:
- All players must be USA Water Polo Bronze level members or higher in order to practice. You can purchase a membership online here.
- We allow up to two free trial practices, after which we ask that you pay drop-in, monthly, or annual dues.
- Practices are self-refereed. We expect players to be courteous and respectful of each other both in and out of the water.
- Per local pools’ rules, there is no deck changing at practice.

- Players shall not use foul language during a game or make any derogatory remarks about other players, coaches or officials.
- Good sportsmanship shall be shown at all times.
- Intentional brutality fouls will not be tolerated and will be grounds for suspension or expulsion from the club.

Any athlete playing for Triangle Water Polo Club not able to abide by these guidelines, will be asked to sit out for a period of time, ranging from part of a quarter to the remainder of the tournament, at the discretion of the Tournament Organizer.
