USAWP - ZONE MISSION STATEMENT & GOALS

USA WATER POLO MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of USAWP is to grow the sport of water polo throughout the United States and win medals in the Olympic Games, FINA World Championships and Pan American Games. In order to accomplish this mission, USAWP sponsors and organizes water polo competition and training programs from introductory youth Splashball programs through 60+ Masters competitions, as well as selecting and training the Men’s and Women’s National Teams. In addition, USAWP provides training to, and certifies, water polo coaches and referees.

​

ZONE MISSION STATEMENT

The twelve (12) Zones of USAWP represent the essential organizing mechanism for regional volunteerism within USAWP. Each USAWP Zone is expected to build the water polo community within its region by creating, sponsoring and overseeing leagues and qualifying tournaments, clinics, and other services. Zone activities should be self-supporting, except for certain national obligations, such as attendance at national assemblies, which will be funded by USAWP. As ambassadors for our sport, each Zone, in collaboration with the USAWP national office, should strive to enhance the growth the sport throughout the country and to promote the sport at all levels.

​
