Team History
Water polo was established as a varsity sport at Suffield in 1979. The team has generally been built around a combination of experienced players and athletes new to the sport when they arrive at Suffield. The Tigers' competitive teams have qualified for the New England Prep School Championship tournament (a.k.a. “the Liquid Four”) in eight of the last ten years, including a second place finish in 2015 and an undefeated championship season in 2009. Hard work, perseverance, and camaraderie, as well as respect for teammates and competitors, are traditional hallmarks of the water polo team.

Season Outlook
After a second-place finish at the New England Water Polo Championships last season, Suffield water polo looks forward to another strong year. We are excited to welcome new teammates and to continue their development as players. Returning leadership is strong and will be a huge part of our success this year. Returning starters include Ben Bryan '23, Tucker Clague '23, and Connor Booth '23. The team looks for big contributions from Michael McCormack '24, Chase Stevens '23, and Ryan Piela '23. Go Tigers!
