Master Workout

Master Workout Schedule
Sept 17th to end of May

EVERYONE WILL MEET SEPT 17TH - MONDAY AT 6 PM FOR A QUICK TEAM MEETING ON UP COMING EVENTS. 6 PM!!!!!

We have locked down our pool time at UNLV!!! Let’s review the rules:

1. Everyone enter and leave by the side door.
2. We may not have the use of the locker rooms, still checking into this.
3. Everyone help take out lane lines, flags, goals.
4. I am not going to remind players to help with setting up the pool. These are your teammates, you know who stands around and talks while everyone else works… nail them on their lack of help.
5. Everyone help put back the lane lines, flags, goals.
6. We do NOT need 6 people standing by the ball cart putting away balls and caps.
7. Pick up your empty water bottles.
8. Bring water!!

DISAPPOINTED!!!

To say I am disappointed would be an understatement!!! When the last game was finished, everyone took off and did not help put things away or clean up!!!! The only people who stayed were: Mark St. John who can't walk at the end of this day stayed - Robert who was either playing or reffing all day long stayed - Dale Cooper stayed - Jake and Alex stayed - Louie and Hunter stayed - Carlos stayed. 8 People from our entire group of at least 80 people - players, parents, friends and we have 8 (EIGHT) stayed to put things away and clean up.

You can not say it was hot and we were there from the 7:15 am - because so were the 8 that stayed. You can't say I did not know we had to stay to clean up, this was on the blog for at least 3 weeks that we needed everyone to help out. I don't know what to say, but I am very disappointed in this group - not mad, just very hurt that no one really cares about the entire program.

I just hope we have everyone there to set up at 7 am!!!! And everyone stays for the last game and helps clean up and put things away.

Sorry I missed Rob Wills and his wife Pat - and Nabu helped. Thanks you very much. (Would like you to know why Tony, Vaune and I did not stay: we held a Zone meeting at my house to discuss the future of water polo in our zone..... or we would have stayed to help.)

Thank You Vaune

Masters when you get a chance say Thank You to Vaune, she paid for our pool time at Dula. It was not cheap - they charged us over $14 per lane per hour - we used 6 lanes for 2 hours times 5 workouts - over $850.00.

Thanks Vaune!!!!

Theme - Till Tournament

Club and Masters will be working on 6 on 5 (offensive and defense).

Here are few rules:
1. Catch and pass the ball - do not fake the ball.
2. You must pass the ball so your team mates can shoot right off the pass.
3. You must know who, where and how you are going to pass the ball before you get the ball. Don't get the ball, then think where should I pass the ball.
4. NO 1 to 6 passes or 6 to 1 passes. (only a few, very few can make this pass and only at certain times and players have to be in a special place.

All this week - everyone will begin workouts at the same time!!! 6-8 pm at Dula.

Listen!!! Watch and Listen when you are out!!! Ask questions!!!!

Mary's JO

Mary just finished the Gold Medal Game against Commerce - Mary made the last goal for Santa Barbara and tied the game in the last min of play. The scored ended in a 5 to 5 tie and had to go to a shoot out. Commerce won the Shoot Out.

Mary is now off to play in the 14 & Under division - playing for 14th place. Great job Mary, we have missed you at workouts and can hardly wait for your smiling face back with Vegas!!!

Good Job Mary!!!

Mary Brooks - JO's

Mary Brooks is playing with Santa Barbara. This is the team that came down during Easter Week and we scrimmaged against them. The coach of the Santa Barbara Team (Cathy) was a former National Team Player.

Mary called today and said she is doing good - she is playing good water polo at both ends of the pool. She is up on counter attacks and driving ballside. Her 12 & Under team should win all their games. Mary is also on the 14 & Under C team - which won both their games today.

Will keep you posted on Mary's play!! Go Mary!!!

Web Site

Looking for someone on the team that can design, set up, and maintain a web site for our club. We want to keep our blog as a daily place to look but add a web site. We want to offer a place where future and new players can look up facts about our club.

Please let Sandy know if you are interested.

JO - last game

We played our last game Tuesday against San Diego Shores B - we won but not without drama again. Drew was throwing up right before the game and could not even walk - so he sat on the bench with a cap on to make it look like we had 1 sub.

We went up 3-0 in the 1st quarter. Then the guys got a little offensive stir crazy and countered too soon, or were just not knowing where the ball was at and next thing we know it is a game 4-3 at half. We played a much better end of the game when up by a few goals.... much more control and no turnovers. We ended with a record of 3-3. Not bad for 8 players (6 field and 2 goalies - from 6 different programs) and in most games we always had a player in foul trouble or rolled or sick.

They played their hearts out - not one time did anyone ask to be subbed out for a rest!!! Great Job guys!!!

Masters
