Richmond Water Polo is excited to be hosting the 2012 Virginia State Water Polo Championships to be held at Nova of Virginia Aquatics February 25th and 26th 2012, and it is our hope that you will be able to participate.  This year’s tournament is likely to be larger than 2011.  The following 9 teams have expressed serious interest:

William & Mary

JMU

Virginia Tech

UVA

VMI

Hampton Roads Water Polo

Richmond Water Polo

Northern Virginia Water Polo
