Transgender Players 

Varsity & Club

The Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) follows the policies adopted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) as it relates to transgender student-athletes. 

The CWPA policy for both varsity and collegiate club athletes meets the standard established and released by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) on February 6, 2025 (NCAA announces transgender student-athlete participation policy change) which states, “The new policy limits competition in women’s sports to student-athletes assigned female at birth only.”

Per league policy, athletes assigned male or female at both are permitted to compete during the men’s collegiate club season.
