Master Festival
I want to thank everyone who worked the Festival!!! Our team got about $1,000 in water polo balls for our hard work this past weekend!!
Our girls: Alex, Sarah and Eliz did registration, worked the table and checked the players in for Lunch at the Fiesta. Laura helped on Friday. Jill was sick but came out on Sunday to help!! Tony Chanove also helped out at the desk!
Andrew, Jeff, Nabu, Nik, (Laura also helped) supervised our little one making sure we did not lose any balls or caps, they also helped out at the table.
Hunter, Skyler, Connor and Victor did a great job getting the balls and caps for all the team and then making sure we got everything back!!
John and Valerie Melia and Gabby sold T-shirts and refreshments.
Aniko (Adam's mom) made the awards and helped with the programs!
Mark Wasik made the programs!
Mark St John and Vaune Kadlebek taught at the clinic and coached teams.
Joe Pelia and Tere Ma ref the games (John Melia was going to but could not find white long pants and only had white shorts and we took a vote and decided we did not want to see white skinny legs on a cold day - so he shadowed Joe and Tere and will ref when he can find a pair of white long pants)!!!

Fallbrook Results
Great weekend - with great games - awesome play. The club did great in the water, they also did a great job out of the water.... this team was on their best behavior, no problems. When they had time with no games they came back to the hotel and rested, when they were at the pool they always wanted to watch the games to learn.
Aniko and Valerie planned our trip - hotel, transportation, meals, snacks and everything ran like clock work!
Our little guys placed second in the tournament only losing to the 1st place team in the 1st round games and in the final game against Laguna Beach (this team took 2nd at the National Junior Olympic). Other teams we beat were: Rose Bowl, Chawp (Chino Hills Area Water Polo), Pacific.
The older group had a bad start - they were too nervous (had a few get sick and throw up before and after the game from nerves). They lost to Sultan and could have and should have beaten this team. We beat LAWPC - lost to El Toro by 1 goal and beat Rose Bowl in a pick up game.
All and all Mark and I were really happy with the way the team is progressing!!!!
