 Membership ID Check     Prior to each game, teams and athletes are now required to present verified rosters proving all athletes are current USA WP members and photo IDs to match those listed on the verified rosters. We can produce copies of NorCal Aquatics USA Water Polo Membership IDs and provide them to the coaches before a competition. We ask that all summer athletes double-check their USWP Membership account to ensure a current headshot is uploaded to every athlete. Uploading a headshot is a simple process detailed in everyone's USWP account, but if you have any questions, please email Coach Tasman.
