Stanford Water Polo Club Parents and Athletes:

Summer league nights come to a close.

Last Friday marked the end of our summer league nights for both High School and Age Group.  We would like to thank all those who helped to get the games set up and running.  It was great to see the high level of play that was demonstrated by all athletes. 

Note For Athletes Who Did Not Pick Up Therabands Last Week.

In an attempt to educate all athletes about preventative shoulder care we handed out Therabands and instructional CD-ROMs last week.  If you did not pick yours up please let one of your coaches know and they will arrange for you to get your hands on these important training tools.

Player Evaluations and Program Feedback Forms To Be Sent Out Following The Summer Season.

As a club we are dedicated to making the water polo experience the best that it can be.  In the week following the end of our summer session we will be sending out individual player evaluations as well as program feedback forms.  The individual evaluations are intended to give athletes an overview of where they are in their personal development as water polo players.  The purpose of the feedback forms is to give both athletes and parents the opportunity to express their thoughts on the summer session at Stanford Water Polo Club.

Our Fall Age Group Session will begin Tuesday, September 6,2005.  Practices are tentatively scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday nights from 5:45-8:00 p.m. and Sundays from 1:00-3:00 pm.  We hope to have detailed information on the Fall session uploaded onto our web site by the end of the week.

Best Wishes For Upcoming High School Season.

We would like to wish all our high school athletes the best of luck in their upcoming high school seasons.  We look forward to seeing all of our club athletes competing with their respective high school teams and will be looking forward to having everyone back for our winter session.
