Karen and Erika
What a great weekend with Karen and Erika, they gave our team a new insight on what things we should be doing to get stronger and to prevent injuries. If anyone needs to purchase a band let a coach know and we will have it for you at the next workout for $10.00.
We will be running off more copies of the packet that Karen and Erika made for our team. For those who did not get a copy please let a coach know and we will get a copy to you (one per family). We are reviewing the video we took and will soon have have it on a DVD for sale.
As impressed as we were with Erika and Karen they were impressed with our team. They told me many times what great kids we have, how respectful, nice and just great kids!!
We are going to be doing dry land with our bands so bring them to every workout, bring a big towel so lay on, wear proper clothing, shoes. You do not have to bring your Swiss Ball. Parents please make sure they are doing their bands daily!!! Sit ups or working their core!!

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.....
