This Sat, Jan 29, is our first Fall Scrimmage. This is from 9-11 am at Roble pool.
The second scrimmage is scheduled for Sat, Oct 6th. This has been CHANGED to Sun, Oct 7, still 9-11 am. This is because Saturday is Homecoming and the Stanford men play USC at 9am on Sat, Oct 6th, at Stanford. We want our Jr Polo kids to be able to attend and watch the game. Free admissions for all and it will be on the Pac-12 Network.
What a great opportunity for our girls to be able to watch our older club players and Stanford men play water polo.
Next week we have a bonus water polo requirement.
Tue, Oct 2, 6:00 pm at Sacred Heart Prep. SHP plays Casti. Club coaches Jon Burke & Brenda Villa will be coaching.
Sat, Oct 6, 9:00 AM, Stanford vs USC men’s water polo at Stanford.
We want every player to come to at least one of the games next week. Our other club coaches will be there and sit with you while watching. They will review what is going on while the action is taking place.
If you can come to both that would be great. If you can only make one that is fine.
The schedule is attached. Be at the pool, ready with suits on, 45 min before your first game.
Rosters were made based on the tournament availability form you completed online. For those who can not make it this weekend, or who didn’t rsvp, there are still 3 more tournaments this Fall.
Stanford led all clubs with 40 USAWP Academic All-Americans (24 girls/16 boys). LA Water Polo Club was second with 29 and Socal third with 24.

A short video to help explain the whistles of the game. The whistles tell you what is going on by the tone and numbers of blasts. This will help you enjoy the game while you watch.
Order your team suit, caps and sweatshirt. Deadline to bring to workout is Sept 10th.
