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 (2024) marks our 20th 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.

Schedule

Each team will play two games on Saturday and two games on Sunday. We shoot to finish play at 5 pm on Saturday and 4 pm on Sunday.

An open co-ed scrimmage is held on Friday afternoon between 4 – 6 pm.

Cost
