Water Polo was the first team sport in the Olympics in 1900

Higher level Water Polo is played 6 on 6 plus a goalie

We will play 3 on 3 plus a goalie

We will have coed teams

A player (other than the goalie) must only touch the ball with one hand at a time and the ball must not go under the water

River Heights Water Polo has a long history in Middle Years Water Polo. We continuously have the most teams of any middle school.  We do not have "cuts" other than to expect that athletes can swim comfortably in deep water. 

Our head coach is Amanda Tetrault, winner of The Peter Dyck Award for School System Category for coaching, and the Manitoba Female Coach of the Year in 2017. She has coached over 40 water polo teams in her time at ÉRHS since 2007. In addition to coaching the student athletes, she has mentored over 20 new coaches through the program she has developed at ÉRHS.

Mr Fred Vatnsdal has been coaching ÉRHS water polo for the past 9 years and is involved in many sports and activities at the school.

We welcome Coach Isla back for her second year as a coach and a former athlete at ERHS.

Thanks to Ms Glesby who also joined us this year.

Mme Phaneuf will continue to help out supervising our teams.

We are so proud that we always have many athletes return to get mentored and help coach.
