Attended this tournament last weekend in Bregenz, Austria

Session I is in the books. Eggbeater scored 1,788 games across 11 divisions, 48 pools, and 88 shootouts — every game, refreshing every five seconds, on one link.

Session II (Boys) starts Thursday. Rosters are already live — every team, every cap number, straight from USAWP registration. New: Find a Player — type a name, see their team, one tap follows their whole weekend. Schedules, brackets, and a page for all 531 teams are up now at https://jo.eggbeater.app/2026/session-2

Also new this week: What if… — tap win or lose on your remaining games and see exactly where your weekend lands, straight from the official draw.

Thank you to everyone who helped test and provided feedback over Session I; it led to some great new functionality and improvement in the app. I am looking for more Session II families who want to continue testing the new What if feature and my new "Ask the Desk - JO AI assistant". Please DM to join the Android Beta or Join the Test Flight Beta to get the most up to date version at a moment's notice.

iOS on the App Store · Android closed beta · free to spectate.

Hey r/waterpolo —

With JO going on, we kept getting lost trying to find our team's next game and read the brackets on a phone, so we built a little free web app for it: ballside.web.app/?src=reddit

What it does:

• Find your team's games — pick your team, see your schedule
• Live brackets + scores as results come in
• What-if — tap a result and watch how the bracket would play out
• Odds — each team's chance of winning its division

It's free, no ads, no login, nothing to download — just a web page. Covers JO 2026 (all three sessions) plus a bunch of other tournaments (US Club Champs, Futures, and more).

Full disclosure so I'm not sneaky: my family built this — a couple of us play — so I'm biased, but it's genuinely free and I'm mostly after feedback. If something's broken, your team's missing, or you'd want a feature, I'd really like to hear it. 🙏

I have had the lucky chance to be close to Rod Bowen, and I have received Alex Bowens senior year cap. I went to his recent retirement game and got it signed. What would this be worth to you?

I posted here a few weeks ago about the app I built: Water Polo Stats. Great response from the community, thank you.

With JOs starting Saturday I wanted to share a quick update. I've made some big improvements since then:

🤝 MaxPreps integrated: export stats in one tap after every game. No double entry.

🤽 Opponent exclusion tracking: track opponent exclusions by cap number. Know who's in foul trouble on both sides.

🎨 Cap colors on the scoreboard: looks like a professional broadcast.

📺 Watch portal: watch.water-polo-stats.com. Families who can't make it to JOs can watch live. Free, no download needed.

🎬 Highlight reels: auto-generated after every game. Every goal and save clipped automatically.

If you're heading to JOs this weekend or next, and want to track stats or stream your games, I can set your club up tonight (or Friday). Just DM me or reply here.

The Huntsville Water Polo Association is planning on hosting a Masters Water Polo Scramble on August 1, 2026 from 10 AM to 4 PM. We usually draw Masters from Huntsville, Birmingham, Memphis, Nashville, Atlanta, and Destin. We play in the Huntsville Aquatics Center Competition Pool in Huntsville, Alabama. At our last Scramble in the Spring we had enough people to form 4 teams. There will be an individual entry fee on the order of $20 to $25 depending on the number of participants and how much extra pool time we need to arrange. Email us at hsvwaterpolo@gmail. com if you are interested or want more information.

Hey r/waterpolo — water polo parent + developer, back for round two 🤽

A bunch of you asked for this in my Session I thread — so here it is: Junior Olympics Session II (Boys, July 23–26) schedules are loaded, all three tiers — Championship, Classic, and Invite.

⚠️ One heads-up: USAWP hasn't released the Session II rosters yet — so cap numbers + names aren't in there yet. That's on their end, not mine; the schedule is all here now, and the moment USAWP posts the rosters I'll sync them for every team the same day, just like Session I.

👉 https://app.eggbeater.app/?m=JOS226 → pick your age group → division → team

No install, no login. All 12 divisions, 532 teams, ~2,100 games. For your team you get:

• Schedule + scores / W-L as results post
• Pool standings
• The full bracket — Crossover → Quarters → Semis → placement, with medals
• My Path — exactly where your team lands based on each finish, updating as results come in
• A Watch List for the rivals you're keeping an eye on
• Team rosters with cap numbers — as soon as USAWP releases them (not out yet); auto-synced the same day so you can finally put a name to cap #7

Following a Session I team too? It's still live under its own code — Girls & Mixed, July 18–21: https://app.eggbeater.app/?m=JOS126 - Both sessions run side by side, so you can bounce between your daughter's bracket and your son's without losing either one.

📱 The iOS app is live in the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/eggbeater/id6761336789 — everything above, plus My Player (your kid's stats) and goal notifications.

📺 There's an Apple TV app too (same listing — open the App Store on your Apple TV): the whole tournament on the big screen at home. Enter the code before you fly out and the grandparents just… watch — no more "what's the score??" texts from the bleachers.

Want your team live & instant? Most scores update when the desk posts a result. But if you're a parent, coach, or team volunteer who can score your own team's games, email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) and I'll set you up with scorer access — then your team updates in real time, every goal, play-by-play, for everyone following (grandma's Apple TV included). ~30-minute walkthrough and I'm happy to do it with you.

Independent app — I'm a water polo parent, not affiliated with USA Water Polo. Reply or DM with anything confusing, missing, or broken and I'll fix it like last time. Good luck to every boys' team at JOs 🤽

We're hiring Head Coaches and Assistant Coaches for our boys' and girls' programs.

What we offer:

• $18–25/hour, depending on experience, certifications, and assignment
• Tournament pay
• Travel reimbursement/per diem (where applicable)
• Complimentary club registration for coaches' children
• Year-round coaching opportunities
• Coach mentorship and professional development
• A collaborative, athlete-first coaching environment

Most of our practices are in Highland Park, with evening practices during the week and weekend training or competitions.

We're building a club that values mentorship, professionalism, and community just as much as winning games.

If you're interested - or know someone who might be - we'd love to connect.

Last weekend 🌞

To my fellow water polo parents,

When I'm not posting on Reddit (or doing my regular job), I coach water polo and my daughter plays. Recruiting season has me losing too many nights scrubbing phone footage for a handful of clips.

So I built an iPad/iPhone app. You film the game and tap one big button when something happens. The app cuts the clip and tags it with the cap number, so from a single game you can pull a highlight reel for any kid on the roster, not just your own.

It works fully offline at the pool, and the video stays on the device.

We tried it over the last few tournaments. Now I'm hoping 10 to 15 of you can test it live at Junior Olympics this summer, so it's solid by the time the fall season starts. A few disclaimers:

• You need an iPhone or iPad (iOS 18+). No Android version yet.
• It's a TestFlight beta, so you install through Apple's TestFlight app.
• Full release is planned for the fall.

If you want to run it for your team, comment or DM me and I'll send the TestFlight link, which works wherever you are. Mods, if this doesn't belong here, just say the word and I'll pull it.

Summer Tournament

Taking my 16U player to JOs for the first time. Any tips, tricks on what to pack and how to manage the long tournament? We’re flying in and renting a car so won’t be able to pack the whole cooler/stadium seats/etc.

In case it matters to the advice, we are not doing the college recruiting stuff - just playing for fun.

EDIT: Session II (Boys, July 23–26) is now loaded too — schedules are up (rosters aren't out from USAWP yet; I'll sync them the day they post), all under code JOS226: https://app.eggbeater.app/?m=JOS226 . Follow both sessions side by side. 🤽

Hey r/waterpolo — water polo parent + developer here, back again 🤽‍♀️

Some of you have been following along since Super Futures and Club Champs — thank you for every bug report and feature request. The big one is here: Junior Olympics Session I (Girls & Mixed, July 18–21) is fully loaded, schedules AND rosters.

👉 https://app.eggbeater.app/?m=JOS126 → pick your age group → division → team

No install, no login. All 11 divisions, 445 teams, ~1,800 games. For your team you get:

• Schedule + scores / W-L as results post
• Pool standings
• The full bracket — Crossover → Quarters → Semis → placement, with medals
• My Path — exactly where your team lands based on each finish, updating as results come in
• NEW: team rosters with cap numbers — we synced rosters for nearly every Session I team, so you can finally put a name to cap #7
• A Watch List for rival teams

And the things you asked for in my last two posts are in: projected games now show game times, and the "what-if" view made it to the web — tap a team in the bracket and see how each result moves them.

Two more things since last time:

📱 The iOS app is out of beta and live in the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/eggbeater/id6761336789 — everything above, plus My Player (your kid's stats) and goal notifications.

📺 There's now an Apple TV app (same listing — open the App Store on your Apple TV). It puts the whole tournament on the big screen at home: live scores, bracket, standings. If you've ever gotten the "what's the score??" text mid-game because you forgot to update the grandparents — enter the code on their Apple TV before you fly, and they just… watch. No more play-by-play texting from the bleachers.

But if you're a parent, coach, or team volunteer who can score your own team's games, email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) and I'll set you up with scorer access — then your team's games update in real time, every goal, play-by-play, for everyone following (including that Apple TV at grandma's house). With rosters already synced, scoring has honestly never been easier — cap numbers and names are preloaded, you just tap. It's about a 30-minute walkthrough and I'm happy to do it with you.

Excellent article on the 2026 transfers with some insight into what it all means. Highly recommended for anyone who follows NCAA water polo.

Breaking down the players, programs, and moves that matter the most heading into the 2026 men's water polo season

Redirect! Kennedy scores! Kennedy vs Western

I have big hands but I don't know how big for the waterpolo world so I wonder if this is anything special or many many players have bigger hands than me.

I am looking to join a masters waterpolo club (weekly or monthly match days) in Vancouver- Lower mainland area. Any suggestions?

​

Sono un ragazzo di 14 anni, e ne compiró 15 a luglio fra una decina di giorni circa. Faccio pallanuoto da circa 4 anni ma pratico nuoto da molti anni prima. Vedo ragazzi della mia stessa età (dai 14 ai 16 circa), molto più grossi di me e con molta tecnica! Certo, la tecnica la ho, sono anche molto veloce, ma l'unica cosa che mi manca è un fisico tale da essere incisivo nei contrasti e riuscire a fare tiri e passaggi forti.

Un'ultima cosa su cui dovrei migliorare è la stamina, entro fortissimo in acqua e dopo 5 minuti sono già morto ( gioco a posizione 1 e 5)

Accetto consigli di ogni tipo

Graziee

I haven’t played water polo in the last few years, but I recently started swimming again and am looking for some new speedos. My favorite brand was Hardcore Sport, but it looks like they shut down late last year. Does anyone know of similar brands or have a favorite? I think S&R might have been decent, but it seems like most on this site like Turbo.

I’ve seen some water polo suits online shown only as 2D digital mockups, not real product photos.

Would you still buy them, even though it's a 2D representation and not a real photo of the suit?

Or would you want to see real photos first to check the fit, fabric, colors, and overall quality?

Just curious what people think.
