Regarding Junior Olympic Qualification tournaments - for those of you unaware, to participate in Junior Olympics you must go through a qualifying process, and only a certain amount of teams are allow from our zone depending on last year registrations.  To enter the tournament the cost runs 775/team.  Based on the limited spots and the cost of entry fees, the coaches for each age group will determine what the rosters will be for this tournament.  The GIRLS rosters will be posted at the pool on Monday, June 11th   The BOYS rosters will be posted shortly thereafter.  If your name appears on the list you would also be committing to the Junior Olympic tournament held at the end of July and beginning of August in the San Jose area. 

Note if you name does not appear on that list there are still tournaments for the players.  If you are unsure what all this means, please contact your coaches

In order to play in any of the tournaments you must be registered with US Water Polo, if you have not done so, please get it taken care of.  Our club number when you register is 176.   Please run a hard copy off and bring it to the pool
