Great Job Everyone

Just wanted to Thank everyone on the team (players - parents and spouses) - on the drive home tonight I was thinking about the Master Festival - the up coming tournament we are hosting in March, about the San Diego Tournament for our men's masters team and about the April tournament our women (and club girls) will be playing in.

How far we have come in these past few years and the future of our team looks so bright. I can hardly wait. There are so many players and parents who have helped out,,,,,, i.e. Friday they had the baby goals at the Festival and within mins we had a truck and got the correct goals at the MGP.

A special Thanks to Tony who has helped me so much.... Thank You Tony!!! The other special Thanks is to Jake, boy are we going to miss him!!!

The masters have improved so much - I look back at the 1st game we played at ASU and we did not play that well... that night I could not sleep thinking "Did I teach them anything" and now I look at our team and we have come so far... our team now could beat the TVH team by 10 goals. I look back at our club team and remember the kids in their suits and caps on 1 hours before their game time and no place to warm up and stayed in their suit at 7 am in the cold. And look at us now!!!

What is even more important look where we are headed!!! .... where are we headed?

How about going to Brasil in August 2010? !!!! ??? !!!! Gives everyone 18 months to plan and save. "don't say no it cost too much" Plan and save.... if your entire family can not go - that is OK we will watch and take care of your kids.... or spouses we will watch and take care of your husband/wife. Let's Do it....

I have written the coaches in Brasil .... they will set something up for us. Trip of a lifetime!!!!

New Team Site

Very soon I will not be posting on this site. Everyone needs to sign up on:

www.athleonsport.com - create an account and join our team by searching for our team name. Our add code is: TVH

This is a great site - you can check it out daily - I have begun a playbook online which all our members can study... but the best part is I can email everyone with updates and if you wish when I sent out messages you can get it on your phone (TEXT). So, if the pool calls me and said "The pool is closed tonight" and this comes at 6 pm I can text everyone.

Please sign up today.

Masters Festival

I want to Thank everyone who worked the Festival!!!!!!! All the Master Festival Players loved the event, how much they learned, how organized we were and how much fun they had. This was a reflexion of our entire Team Vegas/Henderson Polo family, from every parent, players both club and masters. So many people came up me and told me how they loved how great our people/players were, how helpful, polite and just great people you are all. This is the reputation we want everyone to go away with which means they will come back again.

So everyone who helped make this a successful event - Great Job and Thank you very much.... I am really proud of the group/family we have with Team Vegas/Henderson!!!

Masters - Tournament

Great NEWS we are in San Diego Tournament... May 1-3rd. They were overloaded with teams wanting to get in... they only allowed 16 teams in this tournament. We are in KAOS and other good teams did not make the cut. So we have to bring our best game to San Diego so we are asked to come back next year.

The cost for the tournament is: $85 per player plus your cost of hotel, meals, transportation. Please pay before the end of the month.

The following need to register with USWP (you can do this online) - sign up for the Gold membership since everyone will be playing at Masters Nationals.

Plan on playing late Friday and going to approx 4 pm on Sunday. They have listed a few hotels that are $180 per night... I will check into the Embassy Suites, might be cheaper and comes with a great breakfast and can sleep more per room.

They have a few socials planned... if you would like to go I will email you the info.

First Annual Super Polo Games

Great games yesterday!!!

Club Older: Black, Eleanor's team won by a few goals. Good team work and great Hunter was a wall!!

Club Younger: Black, Eleanor's team won by several goals but White's made a good run towards the end.

Masters: Boy we keep score and the level of the game raises by 99 out of 100 degrees. It was tied at the end of the game and we went to a shoot out: Ryan's team won.

It was fun - we will do this next year again. I want to Thank the Captains of each team: Eleanor and Zach club - Ryan and Jake masters. And a big Thank you to Jake and Lou for walking up and down the pool, blowing their whistles, not getting paid all to help our team.
