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!!!

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!!!

JO's - Game 5
Today we let the guys sleep in till 10:30 am - then took them to IHOP. Had a nice big Bkfast, drove back to the hotel - had our team meeting and went to the pool a little early to watch the two teams before our game. We would play one the those team - win, we play the winner, lose, we play the loser of that game.
We played Regency - they scored the 1st 2 goals - we came back with 1 goal late in the 2nd quarter and they scored a last second outside 5 meter shot. Half time was 1-3.
The third quarter we finally began to play to our potential at both ends of the pool. We went up by 1 goal at the end of the 3rd quarter. The 4th quarter was a hair pulling experience for me, Matt and John... and our parents in the stands. We were up by 2 goals, the ref's both blow their whistles and kick out a player - the other team calls a time out... right before the ball is put back into play the ref tells me we have two players out - they both called different players out. So with 3 second to change the defense to a 4 on 6...... they shoot the ball 4 times and we make the block and they regain the ball each time and finally scored on the 5 try..... PLUS the table is 6 seconds late waving in our two players sitting out. I made sure the ref's knew the table messed up. We drew a kickout on a pretty easy turn at two meters - we finally set up with the players in the correct positions and run 4 play with Kyle at 1 - Jake at 2 and Matt at 4 and run it perfectly and score. Up again by 2 goals...... the table does not change the score, after much yelling. There is now only 54 second left - I call a timeout - tell the table to change the score and told the guys to swim thru the ball because the other team is going to swim and try to steal the ball. So goalie passes the ball out to Kyle and he is not swimming to the ball, Kyle makes a pass to Josh who is not even on ball side and does not swim to the ball, they steal the ball and miss the counter shot. Our goalie then makes a pass out to Matt and he makes the pass inside instead of outside - they steal the ball and miss the 2 on 4 counter attack. The the goalies passes the ball out to Jake a little too far and they steal the ball from Jake and they miss another counter attack goal. We won the game 8 to 6.... but the next time you see me, Matt and John we will have a little more grey hair!!!
Next and last game will be Tuesday at 11 am.... against Long Beach Shores. The guys are going to the mall for dinner, shop a little, go to a movie. They are doing a great job!!! They are getting their money worth in playing time and game experience: all are close games!!!!

JO - Game 4
We played Sultan today at 5:30 pm - it was a close evenly matched game. They scored a counter attack on their 1st possession and on the very next possession they scored another counter attack. We came back and tied the game 2-2 and the next quarter we were up another 2 goals. Then in the 4th quarter it was very hard to communication from the bench to the water with all the parents from the other team sitting behind our bench. And they came back to win by 1 goal in the last seconds of the game. The guys put their hearts in the game but sometimes heart and no experience or not thinking does not cut it. The final score was 5-6.
Our next game is Monday at 1:30 pm against Placer Hills..... will keep you posted.

JO - Game 2
We played Florida the #1 seed in our bracket. The final score was 6-9 Florida. Our 2nd quarter killed us - Matt Brooks had two majors so with only 1 sub I had to put Matt in the goal and play both goalies in the field. Florida took this time to have a shooting workout and made 5 of their 9 goals, taking outside shoots (lobs - hard shots) and 2 of those goals came off of tips and into the goal. We came back hard in the 3rd quarter and put Matt back in the field and closed the gap.
We lost the 1st game by only 1 goal and I considered this game as a lost because we made sooooooo many minor mistakes. Tonight we lost by 3 goals but consider this game a win!!! We really played 110% better, all the guys worked hard on defense and most important they did not make the same mistakes as in our 1st game. The players we have from Utah and Arizona have been on the bubble each year at the Zone tryouts and second string on their club teams. They are now stepping up and taking an active part in both the offense and defense. The guys are all getting along great - every day I have them play Paper - Rock - Scissors to see who will carry balls and caps: So far David lost the 1st day - tomorrow Josh from Hunter Utah will have the honors.
Our next game is against Honolulu - their team in past years have always been very quick not only in swimming but all their moves and shots were quick. Check in tomorrow for more results.

JO - Game 1
We played Stanford this am we lost by 1 goal 8-7. Overall the boys played well: Remember we have 8 players (6 field and 2 goalies) from 5 different clubs. From day 1 to now I can see a huge difference in their play, but we made some pretty basic mistakes which lead to 6 of their goals. They had two very nice shots. Pretty funny when we see teams with 10-12 players on their bench and we have 1 player. I am making John Melia and Matt Brooks sit on the bench to fill the 15 chairs on the deck.
Tonight we play Florida - they are the #1 seeded team in our Bracket. They played Stanford and they did not have a very good game and this game ended in a 7-7 tie. So we will have our work cut out for us! They will not only want to beat us but must beat us by as many goals as possible.
Will post the results tonight.

Boys JO's
We left 5:45 am on Thursday for JO's - got to Modesto and scrimmage two teams: 18 Boys and 16 Boys from Turlock. We played well (except for our "M" Defesne at the end) but won very easy. We have 6 field players and two goalies, which means 1 sub. Ryan broke his hand (Good job Jacint - lol).... and could not make the trip, in fact Ryan has to sit out of JO Swimming too. He is in a cast now and in 1 week if the bones are not going in the correct direction, he will have to had an operation to but in hardware so the hand is set correctly. Hang in there Ryan... we will miss you. We stayed the night in Modests.
This am we scrimmaged Modesto and Oakdale - did 1 long quarter regular game - then did 20 mins of 6 on 5 with both teams. We did pretty good and beat both teams easily. We then drove to San Jose (Santa Clara) had dinner and the boys are hanging out watching TV - sitting by the hotel pool. So far no problems! They are a good bunch of kids.
Tomorrow we play Stanford and the #1 seed Florida.... both have great programs and very very hard games for us. Will let you know the results Sat pm....
Play nice on Sat!!!

Theme for Week of July 16th
This weekend we are going work on shooting!!! Shooting and a little more shooting!!!
Here is what I would like to you think about when shooting!!!!
1. Don't think about just making the goal - you have to think about your body position - your release - your legs - the movement during the shot - the goalie positions. DO NOT JUST SHOOT THE BALL HARD!!! AND DON'T THINK TOO MUCH, which will cause you to lose your legs and shoot into the goalie or over the cage.
2. Legs - stomach is the parts of your body that should be hurting after a good shooting workout. Not your shoulders!! You may need to swim a little during the drills to rest and or loosen up a little before going on.

Thank you Mrs. Keating for the donation to the team. I am sorry we did not have everyone there who said they would come and help. (Magee, Joe, Foley, Roger where were you?) But a Big Thanks to: Adam (club player 14 years old) - Mary (former President of Team Vegas - retired) and Gregg!!! I'll bet I know who did most of the heavy lifting!!!
Blog Posts
I have set up this Blog as an information - congratulations - space. I did not create this blog for someone to write about how they don't like the new set up for the masters. I was gone for the weekend and could not get to my computer to stop or erase the one negative comment.
If you need to discuss an issues please come see me face to face. The blog is not a place to air your negative comments.

Newport Results
The kids did great!!! Still a lot to work on but we are getting there. We beat So Cal B's in our 1st game - which put us in a great position: We were in the top 4. Our next game was against SET (team from El Toro) We started off great then had SET by 3 goals but then had a few moments of ??? and at half our lead was cut to 1 goal (5-4) SET scored the 1st goal of the 3rd quarter and ties us - then we had some great defense which lead to counter attack goals and we were up 10-5. In the last quarter SET came out firing and out scored us 3-1 but Team Vegas/Henderson. This win put us in the Championship game vs CVA (Capo Valley Aquatics). In out last game we were out muscled with their big 2 meter - we were in a catch 22: if we dropped and double at set they shot from the outside - if we played man to man at two meters he shot from 2 meters. They also scored on a few defensive mistakes.
All and all it was a very good weekend - saw much improvement in and out of the water.

Hey gang - The workouts are going great: Monday the Black group did an awesome job - You were all doing the two wet shots correctly (bet better than the Red group).... wraps were good too. We are going to continue to work on 1 on 1 drives. Remember you bear into your man, don't swim away from them.
I know the leg workout is pretty hard but without legs you can't shoot, pass, play any defense!!! So work the legs!! When you are doing legs or the swims - make sure you guys are working out as a team - help and encourage your mates!!!
This Sat there is no Club workout - so when you walk in and don't see anyone don't panic!!! Workout begins at 2:30 pm for Masters and a few of the older kids.

Shannon's Moving Blog: Shannon will let you know everything you need to know about her moving day on this blog. So far: Joe - Magee (if Tammi doesn't have the baby) - Mary - Foley - Roger - Adam (14 year old boy) - could use at least 1 more strong guy - 2 would be great - the more the quicker the move will go.
So Check back here for details: direction to Shannon's apartment - etc.
So Check back here for details: direction to Shannon's apartment - etc.
Workout Theme for week of July 9th:
Set offense: We have to have a somewhat controlled offense so we have an idea of what we are doing, not like robots but we need to have some idea of when, where and how we are going to shoot the ball. This way it does not come as a surprise and we get scored on, off their counter attack.
If the defense drops and doubles two meters from the point (3): We run 5 up (or could run 1 up if 5 is not there).
If the defense drops and doubles two meters from the weak flat (4): We run the point drive.
If they press and ball gets into set we need to anticipate a foul or the shot. If shot - go back defense and help cover for our set. If the set is fouled we need to drive from the point and release from the weakside of the pool to put back into two meters.
We will continue to work the counter attack!!! Few things:
1. Stay out of dummy land
2. Know where the ball is at
3. The top or 1st players down - need to release
4. The players 1st down to the base (2mt) must swim out for the 2nd wave!!! We get this down and we will run the other team down - they won't counter and we can save our energy for our counters.

Goalie - Mark
This is from Mark's site: We are are wishing him the best!!
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO ALL!!!
Well a quick update to everyone. Mark has been very lucky and has not had any hard times during his chemo, until now. He is in the hospital with pneumonia. We went to the ER on Sunday because of his fever and they decided to keep him in the hospital for a few days. Mark has been excellent on doing whatever it takes to get rid of the fever. Today he is doing a lot better, he has a lot more energy and the fever has been gone basically all day. If he keeps it up then he could go home tomorrow.
Until then, we are keeping ourselves entertained. We have been playing video games, reading, watching a ton of TV and sleeping, A LOT. This has been a great time for us to catch up on a lot of sleep :)
Please have a safe and fun 4th of July, but not too much fun (we have a view of a wall from this room so no fireworks for us :( )

Workout Theme for July 2nd to ?
Remember no workout for the Masters on Wed - July 4th - Be Safe or our Fireman John will come and get you!!!
These next few workouts we will continue to work on counter attack:
- Know where the ball is at
- Know where your teammates are
- Know where the ball is at
- Know where the defense is at
- Know where the ball is at
And we will include set offense: 3 Basic Plays: You must know what we are going to run before you have to run it!!!
1. Ball is at point (3) the defense is dropping from there: run 5 up
-5 look swim - you could be open anytime from in front of two meters
to the back door
-1 wraps as soon as they start the drive
2. Ball is at the weak flat (4) the defense is dropping from there: run the
point drive.
-point drive and bear into your man - don't just swim down.
3. Press, get the ball into set, make a great pass to 2mt - place the ball so
only they can get the ball - or - place the ball to turn the set to a better
shooting position.
-if the set is fouled - release on the weak side and try to get the ball
back in. And drive on the strong side.
When we are fouled at 5 meters or further out - if you know no one is open - fake a outside shot. .. .. This is so we get use to defending the shot.
The Black players: You attendance has not been good. Shannon, Jake, Antony and Frank have been the only ones to attend all workouts.
The Red players: Great job!!! Keep the attendance and intensity up. If this keeps up plan on going to the Maui tournament next summer - 2nd or 3rd week in July.... then taking at least 3-4 days of beach time. Looks like we will take two masters team.

Up Date on Mark
The recent news Mark got was not what he really wanted to hear, but is staying positive.
Mark's cancer is reduced, which is good and the doctor thinks that there's a 50/50 change after Marks next two sessions, it'll be gone.
But, after that's done and Marks next scan, he's recommending that he do a bone marrow transfer, because since the cancer tumors were so big and advanced, this is the best way to ensure it doesn't come back again. So Mark is looking at some point this fall going to a hospital out of town for a month to get the transfer, then would have to stay in that same town for another month in case anything comes up.

Masters Workout
I really enjoyed Monday's workout!!! Black Group: Saw a lot of light bulbs going off. High points: Questions from players!!! Chandler putting the ball (passing) in the correct spot!!! Dave understand there is more to water polo then scoring. Red Group: Intensity level was really up there!!! Everyone swimming hard, playing hard and really trying to get our counter as a team counter attack.
We will work on one part of the game for at least 2-3 workouts in a row, so counter attack is the theme now.
Read and or copy the post about Counter Attacks.

Workout Theme: Wk June 25th
Counter Attack: We will be working on Counter Attack - Offense and Defense!!!
Must know: Must do:
1. Know where the ball is at
2. Don't watch what is happening - THINK!!!! What is going to happen and react before it happens.
3. Know where the ball is at
4. Know where your team mates are - know where the defense is at
5. Last know where the ball is at!!!!
More on Counter Attack:
Counter Attack
- Anticipate the shot, the steal, and the bad passes and take off to offense or defense.
- To anticipate you must know where the ball is at – At all times!!!!!
- 1 on 0 if you are pass half way, turn on your back so the goalie can hit you on your hand.
- 1 on 0 if you are not past half way, stay on your stomach and look swim.
- The top must release – Left – pass to the right (right does not wing out, swim straight down). Right passes to the center that may be open or will take the foul at set.
LEFT – RIGHT – CENTER or LONG RIGHT – CENTER
Other Notes on Counter Attack:
-Always stay an offensive threat – you may become the free player.
-Know we are going to shoot the ball and come back defense.
-IF YOU ARE PRESSED WITH THE BALL MAKE THE PASS DON’T DRAW THE FOUL.
-Counter Attack: Goals: 1) Score 2) Get the ball down quickly for our set offense 3) Fatigue the other team 4) Counter each time, this will make the other team hesitant in their set offense 5) We must think about our Counter Attack as a game in it self: Which team will stop Countering first? We want to be the team that wins this part of the game!!! When they stop countering this gives us a time to rest for our next counter attack then “Game Over”

Friday - Red T-shirt Day
Let's wear red
If the Red shirt thing is new to you, read below...
Last week, while traveling to Chicago on business, I noticed a Marine sergeant traveling with a folded flag, but did not put two and two together. After we boarded our flight, I turned to the sergeant, who'd been invited to sit in First Class (across from me), and inquired if he was heading home. No, he responded. Heading out I asked? No. I'm escorting a soldier home. Going to pick him up? No. He is with me right now. He was killed in Iraq, I'm taking him home to his family. The realization of what he had been asked to do hit me like a punch to the gut. It was an honor for him. He told me that, although he didn't know the soldier, he had delivered the news of his passing to the soldier's family and felt as if he knew them after many conversations in so few days. I turned back to him, extended my hand, and said, Thank you. Thank you for doing what you do so my family and I can do what we do. Upon landing in Chicago the pilot stopped short of the gate and made the following announcement over the intercom. "Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to note that we have had the honor of having Sergeant Steeley of the United States Marine Corps join us on this flight. He is escorting a fallen comrade back home to his family. I ask that you please remain in your seats when we open the forward door to allow Sergeant Steeley to deplane and receive his fellow soldier. We will then turn off the seat belt sign." Without a sound, all went as requested. I noticed the sergeant saluting the casket as it was brought off the plane, and his action made me realize that I am proud to be an American. So here's a public Thank You to our military Men and Women for what you do so we can live the way we do. Red Fridays. Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the "silent majority." We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or overbearing. Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -- and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that .. every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar, will wear something red. By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers. If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, coworkers, friends, and family, it will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once "silent" majority is on their side more than ever, certainly more than the media lets on. The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can we do to make things better for you?" is. "We need your support and your prayers." Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example, and wear something red every Friday.

Eggbeater Kick
Here is an awesome link on the eggbeater kick. Please take note on the foot - the toes are not always pointed but flexed upward. When a player does not eggbeater correctly they can not improve their game - as your legs are the key to shooting and defense!!!! Again look at how the toes point upward towards the chin and when the leg comes back down the toes are pointed.

Master - Goals for Week 4/23
Goals - Rules - Plays for the week:
1. Do NOT just pass off and drive.... before you pass off and drive you have to have your defense on you ready to knock you down because they think you are going to shoot the ball. Once your man is on you, pass off to your weakside and drive.
2. This week we will not sprint at the beginning of the workout - we will sprint at the end. The # of sprints will depend on how many bad passes (this will become 1 sprint) - how many bad passes for assists (this will become 2 sprints), the short way. Max sprints per workout will be 30 and we will begin 15 mins before the end of the workout.
3. With this (above rule) hopefully everyone will not feel like the teams have to have shoot the ball every time!!! You can dump the ball.
4. When making a pass it is because the ball will be in a better position to score, get the ball to the open man, get the ball into set.
NO TURN OVERS!!!!!!!!
5. When your teammate makes a mistake - do not give them a dirty look (let me do that), do not yell at them (let me do that).... help them out (let me do that too).
