Big Thanks Again to Rob Wills

Rob Wills has gotten our team a grant/funding from the Sheriff's Protective Association. With this Grant we are purchasing Team T-shirts for every player who has been on the club for at least 3 months. They are only asking in return we put "Sheriff's Protective Association" on our T-Shirts. Rob hopes this will be a quarterly grant of $600.00.

On another note - the money the team raised from driving the trucks at the Marathon is being given out for scholarships to players who cannot afford to attend tournaments. One player was given monies to help pay for the tournament.

Again Thank You Rob Wills for always taking care of the team!!! Such a great guy!!!

Masters - Arizona Hotel Info

This message is from Mo, the tournament director. See below:

Hey Gang - We have a block of rooms at the Holiday Inn secured at a special rate. March is a very busy month in AZ, so the rate is higher than last year, but better than you'll get with individual reservations. The Holiday Inn is located within walking distance of both pools and also offers an airport shuttle service. The sponsored social events will be held near the pools in Tempe, in walking and/or taxi rides from the Holiday Inn, so this is a great option to save money on rental cars and get home safe at night. Holiday Inn State University 915 E Apache Blvd Tempe AZ 85281 In order to secure the special rate of $139.99/night (2 double beds per room), please call 800-553-1826. Rooms sold out very quickly last year, I'd advise to secure your reservation quickly. Thanks! :)Mo

WHEN MAKING THE RESERVATIONS - PLEASE LET THEM KNOW THIS IS FOR THE ASU WATER POLO TOURNAMENT

UNLV Road Work

For anyone utilizing Harmon Avenue in your daily commute or activities, the Clark County Public Works division has posted Harmon Avenue to be closed at Paradise Road Monday February 5, 2007 through Thursday February 8, 2007. Please plan accordingly.Parking Services895-1300

I am not sure if this will matter to us - if you can't get in the parking lot: go on Flamingo and you will have to turn into a drive way and find your way to the soccer field - then out to the tennis court - then to the pool.

Plan on a few extra time....

Dress Warm

Parents please make sure your child dresses warm coming, going to workout and games. About 50% of the players who went to Fallbrook are sick - they can not wear slippers with socks walking in wet grass - or after workout and they are wearing short, no jacket. I know they are hot after working out and don't want to dress warm but they need to or they will and are getting sick.

Thanks - Sandy -Tony

Fallbrook Results

It was a weekend filled with water polo games, eating, water polo games, eating and more water polo games. It was as much fun watching the parents smiling and watching their child doing so well. Results:
-10 & Under Coed - won 2 games and lost 2 games - finished 2nd (4 teams)
-12 & Under Coed - won 2 games and lost 2 games - finshed 3rd (9 teams)
-16 Boys - won 4 games and lost 1 game - finished 4th (24 teams)

10 & Under Highlight: watching the progress of our brand new players! McCarthy getting in the cold water on Sunday (thanks to Zeek's comment "Suck it up like a MAN")
12 & Under Highlight: Beating Commerce and advancing 1st in our bracket - watching Mary - Eleanor and Max step up and taking care of the newer players.
16 & Under Boys (with 3 girls and one 13 year old boy) This group of players came to Fallbrook to play water polo, they took care of business and at the same time they had fun and did not need much supervision.

As most of you already know I truly believe in Defense!!! Players who play great defense don't usually get the attention the players who score goals - I would like everyone to know what a great job Andrew did fronting two meters which turned into over 75% of our goals, kick outs, shot attempts because the other teams could not get the ball to even begin their offense started. So almost every goal everyone scored on a counter attack remember it started with Andrew's two meter defense.

I also want to Thank the parents who drove to support the team and help when needed. So "Thank You Very Much"

Another big Thanks to Tony for taking over for coaching duties for Mark these past 4 months. Tony great job coaching this weekend - I know he is very proud of how all the teams did this weekend.

Everyone loves to win - everyone loves to have a fun time - we did it all this weekend!!!

T-Shirts

Everyone should have a Team Vegas Water Polo T-Shirt for Fallbrook - if you don't I will bring some T-shirts to workout on Tuesday - Some will be Team Vegas Shirt, some will be water polo T-shirts; these shirts will vary in cost from: $8 to $2 per shirt.

Tuesday - Jan 23rd.

Money is due Jan 20th.

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year ! !

Let's start this year off on the right foot - here are things we as a team need to improve on:

1. Let's pat your teammates on the back when they do something good in the water.

2. Let's encourage our teammates when they are down, when they are not working as hard as they should be working.

3. Let's show team spirit when we play - (something like Edwin does at each and every practice).

4. Let's pay dues on time - beginning this year you are late, you don't workout!!

Club: On Thursday we are starting off with 20 sprints - if you bring in a type written New Year's Resolution you get to skip 15 of the 20 sprints. Your resolution should be the one most important thing you need to work on for Water Polo.

Be Safe!!!!!
