Western Water Polo Association
The Western Water Polo Association is a single sport college athletic conference sponsoring men's and women's water polo. The WWPA is affiliated with the NCAA, and includes 8 member institutions across California, Illinois, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. The league has seven teams in its men's league and eight in its women's league, with Cal State Monterey Bay only fielding a women's team.
The WWPA members play a regular season of conference and non-conference games, followed by a championship tournament at the conclusion of both the men's and women's seasons, with the winner earning the league's automatic bid to the NCAAs.
