  We present phase-resolved low resolution $JHK$ and higher resolution $K$-band
spectroscopy of the polar VV Pup. All observations were obtained when VV Pup
was in a low accretion state having a K magnitude near 15. The low resolution
observations reveal cyclotron emission in the $J$ band during some phases,
consistent with an origin near the active 30.5 MG pole on the white dwarf. The
secondary in VV Pup appears to be a normal M7V star and we find that the $H$
and $K$ band fluxes are entirely due to this star at all orbital phases during
the low accretion state. We use our higher resolution Keck spectroscopy to
produce the first $K$-band radial velocity curve for VV Pup. Our orbital
solution yields $K_2$=414$\pm27$ km sec$^{-1}$ and leads to mass estimates of
M$_1$=0.73$\pm$0.05 M$_{\odot}$ and M$_2$=0.10$\pm$0.02 M$_{\odot}$. We find
that the mass accretion rates during the normal low states of the polars VV
Pup, EF Eri, and EQ Cet are near 10$^{-13}$ M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$. The fact
that \.M is not zero in low state polars indicates active secondary stars in
these binary systems, including the sub-stellar donor star present in EF Eri.
