Have Fun, Be Part of a Team, and Get in Shape: Play Water Polo for the Elmhurst Royals Water Polo Club!

Water Polo is a fast-growing sport in the Midwest and Elmhurst is a great place to learn and play the sport. There are opportunities for beginners and experienced players of all ages.

Registration for the Royals fall team is open at elmhurstwaterpolo.com. The season runs from early September through early November.

Fifth through eighth graders can join joining the boys and girls 14 & under team. It is a fun, low-pressure way to learn a new sport before high school. Most kids who try the sport want to come back for more! Kids under 5th grade can join as long as they can swim at least 25 yards freestyle without stopping. There are games against other local clubs across the western suburbs and Chicago.

If you are entering York as a freshman (or are already at York and interested in this sport), you can join the Boys 18 & under team. There will be an 18 & under team for girls in the winter. It's a great way to get to know the other swimmers and polo players at York while learning the sport which is played on a varsity and Junior Varsity level. York’s Varsity team finished 9th and 8th in the state the last two years winning their sectional championship in 2016.

Details about the club are on the website. Royals’ coaches will be happy to answer any questions you might have. Just send them an email at info@elmhurstwaterpolo.com.
