UCSB Men's Water Polo Club

UCSB Men's Water Polo Club UCSB Men's Water Polo Club is a close knit group of highly motivated student athletes, brought together by their passion for water polo. OLE!

The UCSB Men's Water Polo Club is a student run organization focused on giving students enrolled at UCSB an opportunity to participate in the sport of water polo. We provide the pool-space and equipment required for our athletes to practice regularly and improve their skills as a team and as individuals. As a UCSB Rec-Sport Club, our players gain access to important assets such as athletic trainer

s and physical therapy. This club emphasizes friendly competition, strong work ethic, and the creation of long lasting friendships among teammates. Since its establishment in 2006, the club has been rapidly growing in both number of players and ability. During the Fall 2016 CWPA League tournament we fielded two full teams, finishing 4th and 6th in the Pacific Coast Division. Although we are not playing in the Pacific Coast Division this year, we look forward to participating in the Fall 2018 season. During the Fall 2017 season we will be staying competitive by scheduling games and attending tournaments hosted by our fellow collegiate water polo club teams. We hope to see you at our practices!

Hey Everyone! Due to our lack of a website and inability to meet in person, this page will be our way of communicating to incoming prospective players for the 2020-2021 School Year.

Due to COVID unfortunately this fall we are unable to practice or compete. Practices are indefinitely suspended until at least winter quarter, and CWPA (the organization which runs our main season) has postponed our league until sometime at the beginning of the next calendar year. While we are unsure if these will resume, we can say with certainty that there will be no Water Polo activities in the fall.

However if you are a new player, watch for updates on this page and also email at [email protected] to join an email list with any new updates. In the mean time, please watch our recently uploaded video on how our normal season would look, it should answer most questions you have about our club!

09/18/2020

Informational video for incoming players on what our normal season would look like if COVID was not here (so hopefully what to expect in the coming years). While we are unable to do any Water Polo activities in the fall, we hope that by next quarter we will begin to be able to resume some practices and have a delayed season. Please email us at [email protected] concerning any more questions.

IMPORTANT! Any athletes wishing to play this Fall must have completed a physical and baseline concussion test prior to getting in the pool! See below for detailed information, or visit the following links. OLE!

Initial History Form:

Clearance Form:
http://recreation.sa.ucsb.edu/docs/default-source/sport-clubs/sports_participation_clearance_form.pdf?sfvrsn=6

--From UCSB Rec-Sports Department--
Due to new procedures mandated by the University of California, Office of the President (UCOP), all identified high risk sport club athletes must have a physical completed by an approved medical provider and complete a baseline concussion test. The UCSB physicians at student health are working very hard to organize these physical examinations and to make the process as easy and as straight forward as possible; therefore we recommend using them if possible. If you plan on returning to a sport club team in the 2017-18 year and will be near campus this summer you should utilize Student Health services by scheduling an appointment to have your physical completed there by following the steps listed below. If you are planning on returning but are not in the area, there are instructions on how to complete your physical through another provider. The sport club athletic training department will clear all sport club athletes who complete a successful physical and baseline test during the summer to participate in team activities.

Below are the steps to take to facilitate this process:
-Physical Examinations through UCSB – Approximately 30 minutes to complete
Call UCSB Student Health Services at 805-893-3371 and tell them you need to have a physical examination completed for sport club participation. Please identify the sport club team(s) in which you participate.
If you have GHI or GAP insurance there is no fee, if you have other insurance you can still have your physical completed at Student Health Services for a fee.
Inquire with Student Health Services about the cost.
Any additional testing that the physicians find necessary, will be an additional cost.
Print out the attached clearance form and bring it to your apt. Student Health Services will keep this form.
Once your appointment is scheduled, send an email to Christiana Kaleialii at [email protected] with your appointment time.

-Physical Examinations not through UCSB
Contact your primary care physician or a provider covered under your primary health insurance. Explain to the medical office that you need an appointment to have a physical completed for sport participation. This must be completed by an MD or DO, other health care providers are not allowed to clear you for sport.
Print out the attached clearance form and bring it to your appointment. The medical office must stamp the form or place your patient sticker on the form and there must be a legible signature.
This form must be emailed to Christiana Kaleialii, at [email protected]
If there is no stamp or sticker and signature the clearance form is invalid and will not be accepted to clear you for sport participation.

-Baseline Testing – Approximately 30 minutes to complete
Contact Christiana at [email protected], to schedule baseline concussion testing.
Baseline testing will be completed in the Recreation Sport Club Athletic Training Room, Rob Gym 1133.
