Orange County Water Polo Club is a not-for-profit organization that offers structured and constructive practices with a focus on training periodization, long term athlete development, and year-round training. The club states that its three key components are training periodization, long term athlete development, and year-round training, and that athletes learn a variety of advanced techniques that make them competitive with other clubs and schools throughout the nation. The mission statement explains that OCWPC encourages players to be the best they can be while having fun through a positive training and game environment, and that “fun” starts with fundamentals such as good sportsmanship, trying hard, striving for excellence, and doing their best. The club notes that from this approach come confidence, camaraderie, respect, and enjoyment as players realize the importance of working together while being the best they can be.

The program describes its training as world class and notes that its coaches played high-level water polo in high school, college, and at the national level. The leadership team includes Head Coach Petar Asic, Technical Director Justin Kroeze, Goalie Coach and two-time Olympian Dan Hackett, and registration contacts Lada Asic and Frances Vangrin. The club offers private lessons from a number of coaches, a trial week and new player registration where athletes can come and try the program, a free 10U, 12U, and 14U water polo training week from August 18–22, 2025, and a free all-ages girls water polo clinic and high school scrimmage on May 11, 2024. Orange County Water Polo Club reports that it serves families from San Clemente, Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano, Laguna Beach, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Rancho Mission Viejo, Ladera Ranch, Coto de Caza, Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, Lake Forest, Aliso Viejo, and Irvine areas. The club’s materials reference a history spanning at least 2010–2026.
