Ragnar has a large and lively group of water polo players! We offer two training sessions per week, focusing on fundamental skills such as sprinting, ball control, and game strategies. Our practices are designed to be accessible for beginners while still providing a challenge for more experienced players. Each year, we participate in four student water polo tournaments, along with major events like Borculo and Zepta Ter Apel. Additionally, Ragnar collaborates with Z&PC Rotterdam to field three women’s teams and one men’s teams in the Dutch water polo league. This season, both the men’s and women’s teams are looking for new players—so if you’re interested, now’s the perfect time to join!
Tournaments
Four times a year, the Dutch Student Water Polo Competition (NSWK) takes place. The weekend kicks off with a themed party on Saturday night, setting the stage for a fun and competitive event. On Sunday afternoon, we play several matches against other student water polo associations, followed by a shared dinner to wrap up the day. The competition is open to players of all levels, with separate divisions for beginners and advanced players. This ensures that everyone, from newcomers to experienced players, can take part. The NSWKs for the 2024-2025 season are:
- NSWK I – Nijmegen – 16-17 November 2024
- NSWK II – Groningen – 1-2 February 2025
- NSWK III – Tilburg/Eindhoven – 22-23 March 2025
- NSWK IV – Delft – 6-7 June 2025
Next to the NSWKs, we join multiple regular water polo tournaments. Most of these tournaments are a full weekend. You will sleep in a tent, eat together, and party! These tournaments are the way to get to know your fellow water polo players even better. This season (2024-2025) we will join a couple of tournaments as well:
- Goffert – 23-25 May 2025
- Borculo – 13-15 June 2025
- Zepta Ter Apel – 22-24 August 2025
