Michigan Water Polo Association

The Michigan Water Polo Association (MWPA) is the independent body governing high-school water polo in Michigan. Established in August 2020, it serves 27 member programmes and administers boys’ and girls’ school competition across the state. MWPA maintains policies and procedures governing its sanctioned competition, including competition standards, eligibility requirements and administrative processes. The association publishes boys’ and girls’ schedules and standings, weekly rankings, coaches’ polls, player-of-the-week recognition and post-season information. Its competition pathway includes district, regional and state championship activity, alongside all-state, academic and seasonal awards. An executive board oversees association operations, governance, communication, officials and the development of opportunities for participating athletes and programmes. MWPA works within the wider United States water-polo environment, while its remit is specifically Michigan high-school competition rather than national-team selection or all levels of the sport.
