2024 Junior Olympics

USA Water Polo National Junior Olympics

July 20-23, 2024
Bay Area, CA

The USA Water Polo Junior Olympic Championships (JO's) is the largest age group water polo tournament. Athletes and teams from across the country compete nationally over four days.

More information about the Junior Olympics is on the USA Water Polo website—link to the right.

In particular, make sure you review the athlete requirement section.

The JO team is capped at 14 athletes in the 12U division and 18 athletes in the 14U, 16U, and 18U divisions, and selection is based on, but not limited to, the following criteria: position, ability/skill level, experience, attitude, commitment to the club, and attendance record.

Going to JO's is a serious commitment to the team and yourself as an athlete. If you sign up for JO's, you must attend all the qualifying tournaments and Junior Olympic Championships.
