Spring Boys Water Polo

Saint Andrew's boys water polo player throwing ball.

The Saint Andrew's School Water Polo team is steeped in a tradition of excellence, with a proud history that includes back-to-back State Championships in 2010 and 2011. The program has continued to thrive, consistently producing top-level athletes who go on to compete at the collegiate level.

In each of the last four years, the team has sent at least one student-athlete to play college water polo, with five current college players emerging from the program in just the past three years.

The team is led by a dedicated coaching staff, both of whom were four-year Division 1 water polo players, bringing a wealth of experience and expertise to the program. This high level of coaching has not only driven team success but also nurtured individual talent, such as Jared Berke '27, who has represented the USA on the National Cadet team.

Saint Andrew's Water Polo is more than just a team; it's a program committed to developing elite athletes and fostering a passion for the sport, preparing students to excel both in the pool and beyond.
