The game of water polo originated as a form of rugby football played in rivers and lakes in England and Scotland with a ball constructed of Indian rubber. This "water rugby" came to be called "water polo" based on the English pronunciation of the Balti word for ball, pulu.

Men's water polo at the Olympics was the among the first team sports introduced at the 1900 games, along with cricket, rugby, football (soccer), polo (with horses), rowing, and tug of war. Women's water polo became an Olympic sport at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.

For the 2006 fall season, NMH is combining the boys and girls program into one to form a co-ed Hogger team. This will form a much larger team than we have had in previous years and allow NMH to field a JV team as well. The current schedule has 16 varsity games and seven JV games. The 2006 season promises to be one of the most exciting for thes NMH Hoggers as we welcome returning veterans, experienced players new to NMH, and rookies with strong swimming backgrounds.
