"USA Water Polo members have long been high achievers in and out of the classroom and the USPA's rigorous and flexible education aligns perfectly with their needs,” said Jamie Davis, CEO at USA Water Polo. “We're excited that this partnership will offer our members exclusive discounts on tuition, collegiate eligibility guidance and more.”
In addition to online seminars, USPA will attend select USA Water Polo events to provide in-person expert guidance from Family Advisors and support junior water polo athletes on their journey to college as they train and compete at elite levels.
