<p>I know college sport in order to join, you have to be recruited or try out. The sport I would want to join would be water polo, is it selective?</p>
<p>I am a girl if it makes any difference.</p>
<p>I don’t know about water polo, but if you’d like the rest of your question answered, you might want to be more specific.</p>
<p>Judging from your initial sentence – “I know college sport in order to join, you have to be recruited or try out” – you are referring to the Div I sports. If you are more inclusive, however, you’ll find a lot of sports you can participate in – ones that allow you to compete. Fencing, for example. Or archery. Or the martial arts. </p>
<p>Are you considering those? Or are you only interested in the “normal” sports, the ones that are funded and run seasons?</p>
<p>Berkeley’s men’s water polo team I believe won the national championship last year. Regardless they are top 3 along with Stanford and USC just about every year. Women’s team is probably just as competitive.</p>
<p>There is also club water polo for women (as opposed to the varsity team) at Cal which welcomes players of all levels. The varsity team occasionally accepts walk-ons (non-recruited players), but not often. Check the web site and you will find more info about the club polo.</p>
<p>Cal varsity water polo players, M or F, are consistently among the best in the world.</p>
