The CC United Water Polo Club is based in Orinda and draws players from the East Bay Area. Founded in 2011, CCU has been knocking on the championship door at JO's, registering a half dozen top five finishes across different age groups over the last few years.

CCU players Caleb Boggan, Charlie Saunders, Nate Rego, Brodie Sladek, and Bardia Koopah rounded out a CCU team that devoted two years to practicing, training, and developing a complete team approach - all while dealing with the grueling conditions of COVID. Their hard work, and that of their teammates and coaches, resulted in CC United winning the 2021 Junior Olympics National Championship.
