That weekend was the original date for K7 Cup, but it looks like Kahuna has moved K7 to April 18-19. Previously, April 18-19 was the weekend for Spring Patriot Games but that event now appears to have been cancelled.

..and that weekend is still listed as Sailor’s Cup.

I’m not sure the dates have been finalized yet. We received an invitation from USA Water Polo for the “Winter Evaluation Camp” (formerly known as “Academy”). In that email, they listed all the pipeline events, including the National League, though no dates were provided. It seems that athletes participating in ODP, Academy, Futures, and the National League will have very few free weekends between mid-December and June. And, likely many conflicts as unlikely there is someone, who is trying to coordinate the entire calendar.

I’m hearing that National League may be rolling out a high school level club league and that participating teams would not likely be participating in both National League and Futures.

Does anyone know any more about this?

Who is heading the National League? USA WP? Many organizations are trying to compete on the age group wallet and time .
