Introduction
In the spring of 2000, water polo became one of the many club sports offered at
Saint Ignatius. The following year it gained varsity status. Since then, the program
has rapidly improved and continues to grow by leaps and bounds. In just this short
amount of time, the Wolfpack has appeared in the IHSA state tournament six times
in the past seven years, and in 2006 the Girls made school history by becoming the
first team to play in a state championship game.

The Team
With three levels of play (Varsity, JV and Frosh/Soph), student-athletes gain valuable
water polo knowledge and experience with the team’s schedule and practice atmosphere.
Currently, only 5% of our team members played prior to high school and the other
95% are introduced to the sport when they join the team.
Our girls learn the value of hard work and dedication by striving to reach team
and individual goals. The skills they learn benefit them outside the pool as well,
all while building confidence in their abilities, and having fun along the way.
