Mission

The mission of South Florida Water Polo, Inc. is to foster the growth and development of the sport of water polo in the South Florida Area Supporting objectives include:

  • Provide a world-class training and competition environment for young athletes.
  • Hold grass roots clinics for athletes, coaches and referees
  • Bring regional, national and international level competitions to South Florida
  • Financially support local teams that compete in regional, national and international competitions outside of South Florida
  • Conduct an annual event that will recognize excellence and achievement of area athletes, coaches, volunteers, contributors and sponsors.

Programs

The South Florida Water Polo Club, formerly known as the Ft. Lauderdale WPC, was formed in 2003 as a non-profit organization to promote the sport of water polo. SFWPC’s purpose is to provide water polo training in the South Florida area and prepare athletes for high school, college and national level water polo competition. SFWPC seeks to benefit no particular high school or area over another and our purpose is simple: provide athletes a place to learn and play the game of water polo. As SFWPC has grown, we find that members of the club have diverse levels of ability, from beginners to former international level athletes. Our task is to bring all the differing skill levels and accompanying desires together into a unified program. Our greatest challenge is to provide an environment for learning that is both enjoyable for the newest athlete and challenging enough for our veterans. As our athletes progress we seek to provide ample opportunity for development so that each of our members may enjoy the sport.
