What a whirlwind! After a long, sun-drenched weekend in San Diego, our Yolo athletes are back, and they didn’t just participate—they made a statement.

Yolo Water Polo Club is headed down to San Diego County Cup! We are proud to be sending five teams across five different divisions. Lots of new matchups for our club since we won’t be stuck in divisions with a majority of NorCal teams (although this can and does happen at travel tournaments). The scoreboard...
What a way to wrap up the winter season! After a grueling but rewarding marathon of three tournament weekends in a row, Yolo Polo descended upon Irvine for the Kap7 International.

I wanted to send a Spring Sunday recap earlier… but this week got away from me. Better late than never, right? What an incredible day of water polo! Our three Yolo teams—Black, Yellow, and Pink—hit the pool with energy, teamwork, and so much heart at USA Water Polo’s Spring Spring event. Every athlete took huge strides forward,...
