Stanford University is the host of the men’s NCAA Water Polo Championships next week – Stanford is the #1 seed.  Because teams will be coming in to train with play-in games Thursday,  semis on Saturday & finals on Sunday, we have had to make changes to the workout schedule for week #1 only.  This impacts the times for Age Group and days for High School.

We are lucky to train in the most amazing aquatic center in the country so making this adjustment is needed.  We hope you’ll come cheer on the Cardinal Dec 1 & 2.  NCAA ticket information can be found here.

We are finalizing details. Please check back or sign up for alerts.

If you want to pre-order suits, parkas, and other team gear the team shop will be open until Nov 11th.  All orders will be processed as soon as the shop closes.

We will re-open the shop at the start of the winter season at the end of the month

The winter season will begin the week of November 26. Registration info will be posted on the website in early November.

For players interested in joining the club for the first time:
• There are no tryouts – we are an open club.
• Registration is first-come-first-served. Keep an eye on the website – the home page has a box to sign up for email alerts.
• The following is a link to last year’s winter program info (2017-18) so that new players can see the basic details of the winter season. Age Group and High School will practice on the same nights as last year. Other details will be similar, but not guaranteed to be exactly the same. This link is not for registering for this winter (2018-19).

2017-18 Winter Registration

Come watch the #1 ranked Stanford Cardinal at their invitational this weekend.  Other top teams in attendance will be Cal, Pacific, SJSU, UC Davis, Long Beach St, Michigan and the Chinese National Team.

One of the best ways to get better is to watch high level competition.  Hope to see you at Avery.

We need JO availability for 16s by this Thur 9am, May 25th.  TeamSnap will have the 16s dates posted today (16s compete first).  All other age groups will be posted by Thur.

In order to enter the correct number of teams we need to find out how many people can commit to the qualification tournaments for starters, and then once qualified who can attend JOs down south in late July.  TeamSnap will have all the date so be sure you LOG ON and stay up to date on TeamSnap.  Many have not logged on since you registered but will need to for workouts updates, tournament availability, competitions and other news.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 16 National tryouts yesterday. The following athletes will train in the 16 National practice. All players will be evaluated for potential moves from Area to National during the first two weeks of summer practices.
