Good Evening Water Polo Families,

Please pay special attention to the week ahead as all our teams will be heading into their first weekend of competition! We encourage all athletes to register for fall WAPO attend practices this week so the coaches can finalize the rosters.  We have very strong Development and Boys teams, but the girls could use some additional players!  Please forward this message to anyone who is still considering joining our team! If you are new to our sport, feel free to update yourself on some basics of water polo.  You will be hooked after the first match! 

VOLUNTEERS:  Each family is required to volunteer to help us run our season smoothly.  Volunteering early in the season will allow for training resources on the job. There are MANY matches throughout the weekend.  You may choose to volunteer at ANY of the matches!!  Please sign up to volunteer as soon as possible - feel free to volunteer more than once: repetition is super helpful!!  Feel free to check out our resources for any information regarding referee hand signals, spectators guide to water polo, or videos on "keeping the book". If you are a veteran, please encourage a few new parents to join you at the table. We also encourage interteam cheering, so please come early or stick around to watch the other teams play!
