Event Sanctions
USA Water Polo sanctions hundreds of events each year and is able to provide insurance coverage and support for each of these events. Any USAWP registered club has the ability to sanction events with our organization. An event sanction is considered any event that is not considered a “practice” and involves more than 2 clubs. These would include tournaments, leagues, clinics, camps and exhibitions.
The primary benefit of sanctioning and event through USA Water Polo is the insurance we can provide the event.

If you are looking to host an event and you need it sanctioned, here are some instructions on submitting a request…
Submitting an Event Sanction
If your club would like to sanction an event there are two ways to submit a sanction application...
1) Download a
2010 Event Sanction Application, fill out and mail/fax to the National Office.
2) The club administrator can log in to his/her personal USAWP Membership account and fill out an event sanction request by looking within the "Club Admin Area" tab on the left column and clicking on the "Event Sanction" option.
If you are not sure of who the club administrator(s) are for your club, contact the National office by
phone (714) 500-5449 or by email membership@usawaterpolo.org
SANCTIONING FEES
If you are sanctioning an event...
90+ days from the start of the event ............. $25
8-89 days from the start of the event ............ $50
Less than 7 days from the start of the event ... $100
New Event Sanction Procedures
Once your event has become approved you will be emailed a USA Water Polo Event Checklist, which is a new document that will help guide certain aspects of managing your USAWP Sanctioned Event. You will be required to fill out, sign, and then fax the Event Checklist into the National Office. Lastly, you will also be provided a copy of USA Water Polo's current Photography Policy, which needs to be posted at the spectator entrance of your event. We hope that these new procedures will help the quality of your event.
