The Season Begins    We start April 16th 4:30 to 6:00.The last few years we have tried to conduct a spring program, but have discovered that over the years the number get smaller, as most kids are involved with their high school swim teams and other end of the year activities. This year we have decided to merely have ONE season, and have it begin in April.  Please go to the Summer section under MSWP information and run off the registration forms.  In that section you will see the dates of practice prior to the end of school.  Although the times may not be the best, we encourage the kids to come, even if they might have to arrive late from their high school practices.  With Junior Olympic qualifying, and other events happening early in the summer, any practice is worth the time.  Junior Hi, and beginning individuals this is the time to begin.  We have individual instructors in place for those wanting to learn how to play prior to going into high school, etc.

Hawaii Information  We are all set for Hawaii.  Thank you all for responding, getting in your $100 deposits, etc.  We have filled up our six entered teams, and we have 14 parents going along as chaperones.  The total number of people within our party is SIXTY.  For those wanting to get their fund raising going, please get ahold of me so I can give you the sheets, etc.  How the fund raising takes place can be found within the March newsletter. We will be contacting you regarding the next amount of money due sometime in early April.  We are probably looking at $200.  If I do not have your email, we will be calling you.  The easiest, and quickest way to keep contact will be through email - so your cooperation is appreciated.

Code of Conduct  You might find it interesting to go to the zone website and check out the code of conduct and the consequences for red cards, etc.  This is NEW and all should be made aware of this as we will all be held accountable.  www.centralcalwp.com      you will find the punishment for 3 red cards to be very interesting, but in my opinion, needed.
