Workouts - Great 2 days!!!

Keep up the great job at workouts!!! Conditioning Workout was very good, everyone is swimming hard, working legs and your dry land was great!!

Masters: awesome job - keep the attendance up!! With 4 teams our workouts always seem to work out well. The conditioning we are doing between our scrimmage time: I hope this will get everyone in better shape!! Scrimmages are very intense.. keep it up!!

Club: Tuesday workout was good - dry land was OK, you have to be thinking what you are doing and not space out. Great 4 on 4, moving the ball to the center or playing great defense so the ball can't swing.

Rapids: Your attendance in the past has not been good... Yesterday we had almost everyone there... 18 players with still a few missing was a great showing. Keep it up!!!

Attendance is what your polo future is all about: Great Job!!

Mark said Waves are doing good too!! This is our Future!!!
