Evaluations - Recap - Coaches Meeting
I have met with almost all the players and their parents, they went well, here are the main points that came from the Evaluations:
1. Players need to ask questions.
2. Goals are due either by end of this week or next week - depends on which group you were in.
3. The eye wash Louie uses is called: Genteal Gel comes in a twin pack for $17.99, you can get at WalMart or CVS.
4. Players/Parents when you go out of town let me know and I will try to set you up with either:
a. A team you can workout with b. Colleges to visit, I might be able to set up a meeting with the Water Polo Coach.
5. What to Eat on Trips - we are setting up a meeting with a Nutritionist soon.
There are still a few players who have not signed up - please talk to me so we can schedule an appointment soon.
I also met with our coaches, we discussed many items - here is a Recap from our Meeting:
2010 Remainder Schedule of Events:
-Masters - University of Arizona - Date to be announced
-Boys/Men Weekend Trip - last year the girls/women took a trip to San Diego State to visit the campus and meet the Water Polo Coach. This year our boys and their dads will take a trip to UCLA and USC. Oct 15 to watch UCLA play Stanford and Oct 16th to watch UCS play Cal. Tony will organize
-Pacific San Diego Classic - Oct 9-11 with 10's and 12 or 14 Girls. No 14 Boys, need to save money for the Speedo Cup in Michigan. Angie can you organize?
-We are planning on taking a Boy 14 & Under/8th Grade to Michigan again - Nov 12-15th. Wendy can you organize?
-Commerce Tournament Dec 10-12 - all age groups - Any Volunteer's?
-Next year we will try to attend the Reno Shootout, a high school tournament which takes place Labor Day Weekend.
2011 Schedule of Events:
-Some of players will compete in the Olympic Development Program - ask your ODP Coaches for info
-We will again host the Masters Festival - would love for Colleen, Cheryl and Dorothy to run this again. We are going to add the Poker tournament to the Festival and Mark and Trish will be in charge of the Poker Tournament.
-Masters will attend the Scottsdale Tournament in Jan.
-I am looking into entering our teams in the Cal Cup League - 4 weekends - one day and we get 2-3 games... great opportunity for our kids to get more experience and not cost much money. More info to follow.
-Masters will attend the San Diego Finest
-Masters National may be out - too hard when we split our team, cost is high, only get 4 games and 5 min quarters... I am looking into another tournament, maybe the River Rafting Tournament - arrive Friday - 1 game, Sat am 1 game - then off on the river - social BBQ - Sunday am game. Or we could enter in one of the Texas Tournaments.. still looking.
-We will attend Kearns again
-JO's might be in Orange County this summer.
-Reno Shootout - Sept
-Speedo Cup
-Commerce Tournament
Fund Raising:
After much discussion we are setting standards for each player/family to either participate or donate to our Team's Fund Raising cause. Tony will be writing these Policies. Each Fund Raising event will have guidelines for each player/parent for the following either fund raising or events we are hosting:
-Car Wash - Policy to be written by John and Andre
-Fireworks - Policy to be written by Rob and Tony
-Poker Tournament - Policy to be written by Trish and Mark
-Festival - Policy to be written by Colleen and Cheryl
-Summer Slam - Policy to be written by Matt
In the past we have had the same families doing all the work but all the kids/players get the benefits, use our new balls, caps, game clocks, cones, etc.
We (coaches) would like your help in recruiting new players to the team: When you are watching workouts and you see a kid or parent watching our workout or game, approach them and ask them if they have any questions about our team/family/sport. Mark will have "Club Info sheet" for you to hand out.
Last but not least we are going to begin working to get Water Polo in the High Schools - we may have to begin as a club sport in the schools but it will be a start. Louie has taken on (kinda forced to) the responsible to get this off the ground. So when Louie approaches you please offer you help - this is the key to grow water polo here in Vegas and this would be another great stepping stone for your kids college education.

Update on the Tour of Duty
Rob Wills, John Melia and the rest of the Tour of Duty gang have left Vegas and are currently heading towards Bullhead city. Thanks to everyone that went to the Strip to see the ceremonial run down Las Vegas Blvd. Highlights from the run include a custom Bellagio water show and the Fremont Street Experience showcasing the runners on the marquee. Follow the run's progress atwww.tourofduty.com.au and follow Rob's blog at robstod.blogspot.com
Also, Robert and Jake went down at midnight to run with their Dad's Rob and John. And a BIG thank you to Chris Magee for having Bellagio dedicate the water show to the Tour of Duty while they ran by.
