Monday - Counter Attack
Monday we will be working on Counter Attacks!
-Anticipate the shot, the steal, the bad pass and take off to offense or defense.
-To anticipate you must know where the ball is at ALL times.
-1 on zero: if you are past half way, turn on your back so the goalie can hit you on your hand.
-1 on zero: if you are not past half stay on your stomach and look swim for the ball.
-The top players must release for the ball!!! THE BALL LEADS THE COUNTER ATTACK!!
-We want to get the ball out - Left, Right, Center or in smaller pools Long Right, Center.
IF YOU ARE DEFENDING AT THE TOP AND YOU GO TO OFFENSE YOU MUST RELEASE OUT IF YOU ARE NOT A RELEASER YOU MUST SWIM TO THE 2 METERS OR BASE, GO BACK DOOR AND WRAP BACK UP TO THE TOP AND MAY DRIVE AGAIN (THIS IS SO HARD FOR THE DEFENSE TO PLAY DEFENSE ON YOU). IF YOU ARE THE BACK LINE YOU MUST SWIM DOWN TO THE 2 METER OR BASE.
DO NOT STOP AT HALF OR CALL FOR THE BALL TO GO BACKWARD!!!
-Always stay an offensive threat - you may become the free player. If you stop you defense will pick up another free player and our counter attack is gone.
-If you know we are going to shoot the ball go back to defense. DO NOT WATCH, you can and will watch from the bench.
-If you are on the two with a defender on you and you have a man free with the ball swim away from him/her so they can go to the center of the cage.
-If you are a release and your defnese is pressing, do not try to draw the foul, make the pass!!!
Defense on Counter:
-Know we when we are going to shoot, lose the ball and go back defense.
-Jam back to defense and once you see eveyone is picked up press!!!
-We have a goalie = you do no good to have your arm up and let them shoot or make a perfect pass to another player open on the opposite side. PRESS - PRESS - PRESS!!!
-Anticipate the shot, the steal, the bad pass and take off to offense or defense.

Wed's Masters Workout - Offense
This offense when they are doing some type of dropping defense.
Offense – On Front/Lane Defense
They are fronting, we are having a hard time setting…. WE MUST:
Set must get out – swim out away from the ball, do so with one stroke on your stomach then backstroke out!!
We always want the ball on the weak side of the pool (lefty side). Turn keeping the ball shoulder and arm length away, head down half a second then get your head up!! This is the only way you will be able to get the ref to call a foul for you. If you try to draw a foul you will not get a foul!!
When there is a foul (and you want to anticipate this foul) the strong side flat drives down to the base and stops in front of the former setter’s defense. The former 1 now balances to 2.
What do you think should happen next? Voice your opinion at workout on Wednesday!!!

Junior Olympic Results
Wow what a busy 5 days we had, it was full of early wake up calls, at least 10 games each day, at up to 8 different pools, trying to squeeze in time to eat, trying to figure out game times, locations, who we are playing, but filled mostly with awesome water polo games. What an experience we had!! The Junior Olympic are open to only 48 teams in the United States, which meant many teams did not qualify to compete in the these National Junior Olympics. Here is a quick recap of each of our teams:
18's - we only had Steven Kassenger on the 18's...Adam Huff from Utah was the coach for this team. They had a few blow out games both ways and a few very close games. Finished 47th. According to Steven his teammates were great, he had a great time and learned how physical the game really is... and loves it.
16's - Robert Wills and Bill from Arizona were the coaches for this team. We had Hunter, Josh and Zach on this team. Robert said our players did a great job! They finished 13th in the Gold Division
14's - Sandy and Brad Peercy coached the 14's. Like the 18's - 16's we also meet some of the players for the 1st time. On the first day we won games to put us in the top bracket - Platinum Division. We had great games (all close games) which means tons of great learning experiences. Vegas had Connor, Brenden, Ashton and Max on the this team, all four played great. Fished 17th in the Platinum Division.
12's - Louie and Janet (New Mexico) coached this team... what a great job Louie did with the team, when I could I went to watch and sit on their bench as quietly as possible. With his special soft touch he brought this team to the next level. When I was sitting on their bench watching them play it brought tears to my eyes.. I was so proud of them!! They made steals by baiting or they played the lanes and were up on counters.. Noland was awesome in the cage .... this was one of the only teams that more than one or two players who communicated. They were awesome: Noland, Steven, Sky, Jarrod, Dale, Joey, Lake and Derek. They finished 5th in the Gold Division.
10's - Tony coached our little ones, like the 14's they won games to move up to the Platinum Divs ion. They played like a very oiled team!!! They ran their plays, I don't think the other teams even knew they were running plays because no other team had plays except get the ball to their biggest guy to score. Our teams consisted of: Sam in the goal, our ladies were: Mia, Sarah, Maci, Gage, Lake, Trevor, Jorge, McCarthy and Joey. This team finished 9th in the Platinum Division.. Great Job!!
A special Thanks to Trish Taylor for all the work she did organizing all 5 teams from 5 states (Nevada (Vegas and Reno this makes it like 6 states), Utah, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado). If Trish did not step up to do this I know I would not have taken this on and we would have only had a 10's and 12's. I don't know if anyone really really knows what it takes to get all the work done: it is like trying to pull teeth for parents and coaches to respond to emails, making sure we have money to pay our bills, getting rental cars, making sure every players has a ride once we are there, getting hotel for the team, making airline reservations, medical releases, making sure once we get their all teams knows which pools they are playing at, getting directions, ice and water at each pool and the list goes on. Plus she has to organize her schedule so she can watch her two kids in different divisions, different pools, taking care of her mom and meeting friends and relatives. So Thanks Trish!!
Parents thanks for letting your kids join in on a great Life Experience.. it may have cost you money but in the long run you will be paid back many times over when they get older.
