Every school that plays, where it actually is.

1,030 high schools across the 11 states that play water polo. California is colored by the CIF section each school competes in, everywhere else by state, and each dot carries its own division. Real coordinates on a real basemap: 81 sit on the campus itself, 570 at the school’s street address (interpolated along the block, so the front gate rather than the pool). The remaining 379 resolve only to a nearby street or ZIP code, and are marked approximate on hover.

How California runs it

California is two regions, Southern and Northern, each crowning its own champion (there’s no single state title). And the calendar isn’t the same for everyone:

Boys play fall statewide. Girls are the split: winter in the south, fall in the north, so the two girls seasons never overlap.
