College Visit for the girls and their mom's:
April 2nd at University of Irvine 1 pm vs Hartwich (Alan Huckins: Head Coach for Hartwich, he comes to our Summer Slam every year).
April 3rd at University of Irvine 1 pm vs Stanford (I will try to get our players and moms to meet the coaches and players from Stanford too).
Plan to drive out April 2nd early 6 am - arrive and Dan Klatt (Head Coach UCI & USA Women's National Assistant Coach) will give our players a tour of the campus, their training room, meet the team after their game against Hartwich.
Stay over night in the Irvine area - which is close to the beach... April 3rd Sunday watch 1 pm game against Stanford. Drive home.
Dan is going to set it up so our team dose not have to pay for tickets to the game - there is a $10 parking charge so make sure you car pool.
I need a parent to set up the travel for this awesome trip!!! Let me know if you want or can help.

Commerce Results
Water Polo: was the perfect name for our sport this weekend: the kids were in the water when out of the pool also in the water when in the pool. It was raining hard!!!!
Team Vegas entered 4 teams: 10 & Unders/coach Whitney, 12 & Unders/coach Louie, 14 & Unders/dry coach Robert and 18 & Under/coach Tony. Both players and coaches were awesome.
10 & Unders won their bracket, then played their 3rd game on Saturday to advance to the games which would determine 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th. 3 wins and 0 lost for their Saturday games!! Great Defense and good offense and now they are ready to play for a medal on Sunday. Lost to Commerce and lost to South Coast put Team Vegas with a 4th place finish. Fourth place was very good showing for our young group. I look at tournament games as performing on stage: you can't learn your lines on stage you do this at rehearsals. So the 10's need to learn at workouts and then perform at tournaments. All in all I was it was a great learning experience for all - players, parents and coaches. Hope Ridge and Arem are ok... they both got sick and left early to get home and get well.
12 & Unders: With one win and one lost in the 1st round this put our 12's playing for the top 12 spots out of 24 teams. Our team was mostly players who were 10 & Under and just aged up... they did an great job. Coach Louie was very proud of their improvement. We won the last game against CHAWP's it always seems like Hannah has an effect on this team, they get so mad... I believe it is because she tools and schools this team. Even some one's grand parent got involved!!! Great Game!!!
14 & Unders: while all the other coaches and teams were getting soaked in the rain the 14's were indoor along with Coach Robert... our team won one and lost one in bracket play which put them in the top 8. With a great front and lane defense we were awesome!!! The last game again our old friend the Titan was great!! Defense again was the key to an easy victory for 7th place out of 28 teams!!!
18 & Unders: Wow they looked like men playing not 15-16 year old boys playing!! This year they did not offer an 16 & Under Division so we had to enter in the 18 & Under division. We won one and lost one in bracket play which put us playing for 5th-12th. The biggest win during the weekend was beating Rose Bowl in a tight game and we won in the last few seconds of the game. Tony had the guys running like they have been playing together all their lives and we had players from: Colorado, Reno, Fresno. Great Job guys and Mary!!
I went from pool to pool on both Saturday and Sunday - watching and helping where I could with all the team. I was very happy to see the improvement from all the players who have been attending all workouts... working hard and attendance does matter. I was a little disappointed in play from players who do not have good attendance, get your attendance up.
Soon after the New Years we will be setting up a Team Meeting with Parents and Coaches. Agenda items to include: Fund Raising, Team Policy, New Workout Schedules, Calendar of Events, Master Festival, etc.....

Holiday Party Recap
THANK YOU to the Robinson's (Ridge and his Mom Vanessa) for letting the team use their warehouse for the Holiday Party. So many said how perfect the warehouse was and the fact we have grown and we need a warehouse to host a party!! And to the Waves for coming the night before and decorating.
The food was great! Thank you parents and players for bringing such tasty food. We had so much food and desserts we needed two more tables just to fit it all. Tony a BIG thanks for the steaks and as always cooked perfect!!!
It was fun watching the kids opening their presents, their look on their faces was priceless!!! We went with having the little ones go last for several reason: If they went 1st they would have gone off with their toys/presents. Also we wanted to save the best for the last!!!
Thank You to the all parents and players that helped set up the night before and clean up after. The place looked great with the decorations and tree and lights. It didn't even seem we were in a warehouse and after we cleaned up, it was a warehouse again.
I hope next year we need a football field to hold our party - so let's keep growing, playing water polo and having fun with your new polo family.
Thanks again.

Holiday Party - Location Needed
I want to Thank the Magee's for offering their home for the team's party but after counting the #'s it is so small - which is a good thing: Our club has grown!!!
We need help locating a place to hold the party for at least 150 people. If you can check around, maybe your church has a room, your club house, hotel meeting room (where we do not have to have them cater the food). Please let Cheryl Curry know if you can help.
