Cal Men's Club Water Polo Fall 2026

UC Berkeley Men’s Club Water Polo is a highly competitive, student-run team of around 25 students. During our fall season, we practice more than eight hours a week and compete in tournaments across Northern California as members of the Sierra Pacific Division, where the top team qualifies for nationals.

We have a proud history: Sierra Pacific Division champions every year from 2012 to 2019 and again from 2021 to 2023. This season, we’re working to return to the top and chase the first club national championship in school history.

But we face a major challenge: we are almost entirely player-funded. Every season, players pay out of pocket for league fees, pool time, tournament travel and equipment. Your support keeps competitive water polo open to any Cal student who wants to play, regardless of what they can afford.

How your gift will be used

Our goal is $5,000:

• League fees: about $4,650
• Competition costs (tournament and facility fees): about $350

All estimates are rough only, and actual expenditures may vary.

If we don’t meet our goal, all funds will go toward our league fees first, then other team operating costs. If we surpass our goal, extra funds will support tournament travel and future seasons.

Whether it’s $10 or $500, every gift keeps us in the water. Can we count on you?
