Kap 7 Results

What a great weekend of Water Polo - we had sunshine, great games, spent time with great families and friends. 

Quick Recap:

16 Boys played great throughout the tournament ending up in the Championship Game in the Silver Division.  They won 4 games before playing in the Gold Game and lost in a Shootout!!  Heart breaker! They played their hearts out!  The team was without a goalie in their own age group, Joey and Sam helped fill in.  What impressed me the most was how they all stuck together when things got tough!  How supportive they were of each other in the in the high and low times!!  Awesome TEAM!!

14 Boys: Now the 16 were without a goalie and that was tough but the 14's might have had it a bit tougher: were without a sub.  In their 1st game Dale and Skler had 3 major fouls and we had to pull over 2 of the 11 year old girls who were playing at the same time (which left the 12's without a sub) to fill in so they had 7 players in the water.  The 14's went on to win the rest of their games and finished 3rd in the Gold Division.  Team was focused on Sunday and played great!! (but have 2 wkends of hard labor coming)

12 Boys: With a 10 year old goalie (Sam), 5 girls 11 & younger, (Chole, Mia, Maci, Sarah and Jessica) a 8 year old starter (Gage) and two newer players (Thomas and Aram) playing against all boys team played great.  The team earned 1st place in the Gold Division!!  Some of the girls also played with the 14 boys.  Great Job!!!

10 & U: The 10's brought home the Silver Medal... great job.  The semi final game it was a nail bitter with a one point win and a fun game to watch, play and coach.  Genai Keer the men's olympic team goalie handed out the medals to our players, they took pictures with Genai too.  Congrat's on your Silver Medal!!!

A great weekend - Most team and most players showed a great improvement.  As a coach this is all we can ask for: They come to workout - they work hard - and perform great because of the work they put into their game.  If you have pictures send to Mark and we will post a few on our blog!

Before closing I want to share a few comments from many coaches, parents and Ref's from other teams:  They were very impressed with our players, polite, well behaved, good knowledge of the game and played well.  Also many praises from other coaches and Ref's about the coaching staff: Good comments from the bench, good game management and the one I was most proud of was:  How the could see how the coaches loved what they were doing!!!  I am sure everyone knows how lucky we are to have such dedicated coaches..Thank you: Jake, Mark, Whitney, Louie and Tony!!!
