Tartan Water Polo

April 11, 2011
Hello to ALL!Hope school and your other sports are going fantastic since I last saw everyone!  Keep the studies up!  Just to touch base with everyone before summer water polo begins:

May 23:  Boys Registration at 7 PM at the pool deck
May 24:  Girls Registration at 7 PM at the pool deck

- Boys will practice Monday/Wednesday/Friday after school until school ends... then 12-2PM the same days
- Girls will practice Tuesday/Thursday/Friday after school until school ends... then 12- 2PM the same days
- When summer begins: Boys/Girls will practice Friday 7-830AM (along with the other two days)

- I am finalizing the summer schedule right now with other coaches and will get that out ASAP so you can make summer plans around tournament dates.  Tournaments/games are the reason we practice, so please do not schedule anything during those dates... so important!  

-Along with the price of summer: club coaches would like to invite all the athletes to our camping/training trip to Point Magu near Santa Monica mountains.  The dates are June 27-30 (Monday-Thursday).   More information as to what to bring will be announced later.  Athletes will need to find their own transportation.  In order to make this the safest trip possible all coaches are attending with CPR/First Aid certifications and our personal Paramedic for the week.  Food will be prepared by sous-chef from orange county restaurant.  
Staff attendance:
- Coach Cindy Melendez
- Coach Erika Vargas
- Coach Ryan Wells
- Coach Michelle Lutz
- Sous-Chef Leo
- Paramedic Landon Pupka


Fees:
You must register at www.usawaterpolo.org as a Silver athlete to practice and compete in the tournaments and games we have set up.  This is $60 for a year membership.

In order to run this summer club effectively there is a cost.  Tournaments, games, equipment, coaching: the fee for summer will remain at the same price as last year: $400.  All coaches wish to improve your athletes skills, so if money is a problem contact Coach Michelle to set up a payment schedule, we can work something out!

Cannot wait to see everyone!  If you know of any incoming freshmen please share this information with them!  As always if you have questions please send me an email.

Best of luck on your school work for the rest of the semester, keep those grades up!!!


Unity is Strength.
