[quote=Anonymous]I used to coach in the division where she’d likely play (assuming the team is in the main intercollegiate club league). It’s been a while, but assuming no massive changes, if she’s into it she’ll make the team. The starters will primarily be kids with high school experience, but there aren’t a ton of those in the area - certainly a lot less than you need to have a healthy-sized roster. An athlete with swimming experience is exactly the kind of student a club team will need. As far as injuries, water polo is high usage but low impact on knees. Players definitely get sore knees but it’s pretty rare for it to be anything that needs more than rest; the sport is much harder on shoulders and hips. And even then, four years of club water polo aren’t typically enough to build up the miles on those joints that leads to the degenerative injuries. The players I had who got those were the ones who had played through high school. [/quote]
