Water polo abuse allegations detailed in civil suit filed against Harvard-Westlake

The mother of a Black Harvard-Westlake high school boys water polo player claims she met twice with Jack Grover, the team’s head coach, on March 29, 2023, to discuss in detail concerns she had about the culture of a program in which her son and other minority players were regularly subjected to racial slurs and behavior.

The mother told Grover she feared her son “was being targeted and was not safe,” according to the complaint filed on behalf of her son in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday.
