Stanford University’s Kelly Eaton has earned MPSF Player of the Week honors after helping the Cardinal defeat Cal State Northridge Friday and No. 3 USC on Saturday. She had four goals against the Women of Troy.
Kelly started playing water polo in the club’s beginner session (equivalent to the current micros program) and has helped the club to three national championships and numerous top five finishes at JOs, 20-under nationals and senior nationals.
Congrats Kelly!
USA vs Australia Women’s Olympic teams here at Stanford. Mark your calendars. Thursday, July 10, 6:00pm. We are hosting the final game in the US before the team heads to Beijing, China, in their quest for Gold. We will be asking everyone for help with selling tickets and getting people in the stands.

We are holding a spring high school session for players who participated in the winter season.
There will be four sessions and we encourage players to attend all four – we will be putting together teams to compete weekly in a “league” so if you miss, your team will be short a player.
Dates (all sessions at Stanford pool):
April 12, 4:30-6:30pm
April 19, 3:00-5:30pm
April 26, 3:00-5:30pm
May 3, 3:00-5:30pm
The session fee is $125 (no pro-rating of the fee).

Keep in mind that spring water polo does not take precedence over high school swimming. Do not tell your swim coach that you cannot follow through on a swim commitment because of these water polo practices!
If you did not play winter polo, we will start a waiting list and if there is space we may be able to include more players.
Micro Spring session information is available on the link below. The session begins April 1st.
Also stay tuned for more detailed information for the Micro March clinics.

Ted was named National Development Coach of the Year and Travis the National Volunteer Coach of the Year. Congrats to these coaches for their distinction and their devotion to the sport and our club!
We are working on the details of pool locations and practice times for the summer. When we know these details, they will be posted on the website. Until then, here are some of the important dates to put on the calendar.
