WATER POLO
Program Philosophy
De Smet Jesuit Water Polo is committed to developing young men in and out of the pool. With an emphasis on accountability and teamwork, we strive to become the most cohesive team as possible. Athletes are molded into leaders and we take pride in having as much mental toughness as physical toughness. With 8 MSHSAA Final Four appearances ('97, '08, '09, '10, '12, '13, '16, '18) and 1 State Championship (2010), De Smet Jesuit continues to be a premier program in the area. We hope to continue the tradition of excellence going forward
