The Haverford School Water Polo program began in 2002, when it officially entered a varsity and junior varsity program into the Inter-Academic League. The team struggled in its first few years of existence, but through hard work, determination, skill, and perseverance, has developed into a perennial league champion contender. The program has won the Inter-Ac Championship five times: 2005, 2008, 2009, 2018 & 2019. In addition to repeating as league champions, the 2019 team won the Easterns Prep Water Polo Tournament.
Head Coach: Kevin Van SuchCoach Van Such joined The Haverford School in 2008 and serves both as head coach of the water polo team and as assistant coach for the swim team. Outside of Haverford, Kevin is Club Director of Maverick Water Polo and Program Director of Wissahickon Community Aquatic Club. He studied Communications at Millersville University, where he played water polo in his four years.
More than two dozen Haverford School students will continue their athletic careers at their respective colleges and universities. Director of Athletics Michael Murphy hosted a virtual celebration to honor the boys’ commitment to their athletic careers and wish them well as they transition to their respective colleges and universities this fall.

By the time shots started finding Jason Chen Tuesday, the Haverford School goalie was already locked in.
