Introduction

A water polo competition for women over 25 and men over 40, the NVMWP summer tournament has been held every year since 2004 (with one year off for the pandemic in 2020). The event was founded by Mike Garabaldi, the coach/player who also started our club. This year (2025) marks our 21st tournament.

This is a “Napa Style” tournament meaning attendees register as individuals and not as a team. The tournament organizers then place each registered player on a team based on ability and experience. Our goal is to create balanced teams to enhance competition and to create a great social atmosphere where people get to play with new teammates each year.

Location

The NVMWP Tournament is held at the Napa Valley College Pool

Cost

$275 per player and $175 per non-player guest (i.e. Gala Dinner guest).

Spectator guests are welcome to come and cheer on the players at no charge. There is no admission fee for watching the tournament.
