PACE CLINIC – members of the U.S. Women’s Water Polo team – as well as members of the coaching staff will be at Johansen H.S. October 10^th to conduct a clinic for both coaches and female players.  This one day clinic is a hands on experience for both player, coaches and moms who wish to sign up and learn more.   Coaches and dads who would like to know more about the sport can sign up and participate in the coaches clinic.  We encourage all to sign up as this is an extra special experience to be taught by the best in the world.  More information will be forth coming in the September newsletter.  Information will be given to all high school coaches in the area as well as being posted on our website

Fall Water Polo -  We have set up practice for the fall water polo season.  This is specifically for pre high school players.  The cost for this will be $75 and will cover practice and tournament costs.  The practices will be held on Wednesdays from 5:15 to 6:45 at Johansen.  The first practice will be Wednesday, September 1^st. – the tournaments will be September 19, October 3,17 and 31^st.  We hope that ALL those eligible will participate.

MOMS POLO – We have had solid interest in our new program.  The idea of this program is to have fun and learn the game.  We have scheduled practice for Wednesdays from 5:15 to 6:45.  You will notice we have scheduled them as the same time as our pre high school group (intentional).  The cost for this will be $50.  The first practice will be Wednesday, September 1^st.  We recognize that the initial groups will be small, but we will get the program started and hopefully see this grow as we go along.  The last session will be October 27^th.  ALSO, members of mom’s polo can sign up for the PACE clinic, it is not limited by age or ability.

Lastly – good luck to our Junior Olympic teams in Florida.  Thanks to all our coaches this season, and to all the parental support that we have received.  Please keep checking our web site for any new information.  Also good luck to all playing in high school, we hope that playing with us this summer will help you, and your team this fall.
