Lifting Program

I have asked Jason Roe to meet with the following players to design a lifting program for each one of you. Jason know how I feel about lifting too much too soon, he understands the concept of light weights with lots of reps...etc...etc.

I would like the following players to begin lifting when we start back up Sept 12th.
Eric - Baby - Jake - Alex - Sarah - Eliz - Matt - Jeff - Ryan (if you are not on one for swimming) Andrew, Elliott, David, Jill, Ben and Place.

Jason is going to meet with all of you at one time and set a special program for each of you depending on age and body type. Jason will go thru the proper way to lift, what you are working and why. Jason will meet with you the 2nd time soon after you begin to double check if you are doing it correctly. Jason will meet with you after 3-5 weeks after to adjust your program.

Jason is doing this as a favor to me - and I would like each of you to get him some type of gift certificate. We will set up the date when we come back from our break.

See you next month!!!

Proud!!!!

After seeing what other teams are like - I am really proud of our team - Masters and Club!!! Thank You

If you saw the final Masters game you understand what I am talking about: Chawps thought they could do no wrong - never made a mistake - every call against them was a bad call they knew it all and no one knew the game better then all of them - they had no respect for any of the teams they played, had no respect for any of the ref's - they have no respect for the game we all love "Water Polo" what a shame!! So I thank all of you for not being like that and if you ever become one of them you know where the door is at!!

Recap of the games:

TVH Purple: Good Job: the teams effort - not giving!! Wanting to learn new skills, wanting to understand the game. Improvement with each game. Things to Work On: Seeing the entire game - knowing where the ball is at and reacting to the situation. Some of you need to listen and learn and not take things so personal.

TVH Black: Great team play! Good positive energy in the water! Things To Work On: Conditioning

TVH 16's: Good Job: State Champs!! Nevada State Champs beating Reno in both games!! Things To Work On:
everyone needs to swim on their own - it is going to be important your conditioning and speed swimming begin to improve - as you get older and you want to stay par or get better then rest of the players you need to swim on your own!!! After the Reno tournament the older club players will be put on a weight training program.

TVH 12's: Commerce is a well coached team understanding the ins and outs of the game and they have been playing for 3-4 years and some of you are able to stay with them and some are just as good and better then most of the Commerce players. Things to Work On: Giving your all at workouts - Listening - Doing what you are told to do and asking questions when you don't understand!!

Great Job working the desk - setting up - cleaning up - working the concession stand!!

Thanks Again - Your Proud Coach!!!

Parents - Masters

It is about that time to again remind parents and masters it is the coaches job to coach!!! Please read the attached!!

Team Vegas/Henderson Water PoloParent Code of Conduct
In order for our club to compete successfully at the highest level, it is essential to recognize that participation in the Team Vegas/Henderson is a commitment being made by entire families, not just players. Therefore, it is important that we outline our expectations for parents as well as players.

Please read the following guidelines that we expect our parents to follow.

Parents are allowed to attend practices and encouraged to attend games. However, parents are expected to stay away from the side of the pool and away from the coaches during practices and games. Parents should support the players on our teams and refrain from making disparaging remarks about or directed at any of our players, coaches, opponents, or officials. Parents must avoid any physical or verbal confrontations with the parents, coaches, and players of our club or our opponents or with the officials. Parents are not coaches; the players should receive their directions only from the coaching staff on the pool deck, not from parents in the stands. The coaching staff is giving directions which will enhance the entire team (not just one child). Parents cheer for the team/players and don’t yell out any directions.Parents are expected to have rides available for their children at the time that practices and games are scheduled. Parents need to understand that part of the mission of the coaches is to help the players develop into mature, responsible young men and women. Therefore, it is the responsibility of players to communicate directly with coaches when issues arise. Decisions about playing time, travel teams, and all other water polo related matters are made exclusively by the coaching staff and are not open to debate, discussion, or negotiation with parents. A player should feel free to discuss his/her status with the coaches at an appropriate time. Parents are expected to get their children to all practices and games on time. If you cannot be on time, be early! No player will be allowed to participate in any practice or game unless he/she is registered with the club. All club dues must be paid in full in order for a player to be allowed to enter the water.
