2007 BOYS’ SPRING SESSION
Dear Parents and Athletes:
Our 2007 Spring Session will begin Monday, February 26th and end Sunday, April 29th. To ensure the highest quality of our program, we will be limiting the number of participants in each practice group. They will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. The enrollment period will open on Monday, February 12th and close on Thursday, February 22nd (unless we reach capacity at an earlier date), so please complete the registration at your earliest convenience to secure participation for the session. If you are a returning member of our club, you will receive an email notification by February 13th with a link to your “short-cut” registration. Please review and update your personal information before submitting your registration.
This session will feature the following Special Events:
Coach Vargas's Impact Day: During the upcoming session Coach Vargas, along with some members of the Stanford Varsity Team, will hold an "impact day" of training for all spring registered athletes. During this "impact day," Coach Vargas and several Stanford Varsity players will personally supervise practices that are designed to have an impact on each athlete's game. Each of our club athletes will walk away with a few ideas for personal growth in the sport, with an emphasis on offensive play. For very advanced players, Coach Vargas will point to techniques that are used at the Olympic level, where Coach Vargas has played and coached. For younger players, Coach Vargas and the coaching staff will explain what the player has to accomplish to move to the next level. The goal is to put a few thoughts in each player's mind that will aid them with their personal development as they gear up towards the summer sesason.
Premier League Weekend (April 14th& 15th): This weekend, the nation’s top male water polo players will compete in the second of three tournaments of the 2007 Division I Premier League.
