Water Polo Preseason Day 1 August 24, 2009

Location:
Pool

Workout:
AM Session, 2 hr:

PM Session, 2 hr:

Notes:
The girls team practices together for the first session, as do the boys team. During the second session, the girls have the pool the first hour, then combine with the boys the second hour. The boys then have the pool for the third hour.

Both teams already seem stronger than last year. The boys are about 34 deep, while the girls pick up 4 new members to make it 15. The senior captains are already making their presence known by helping out the less experienced freshman/sophomores - the goal being to help those around you be a better player. Greater goals are achieved only through selfless leadership. Keep it up!

“Come in closer so I can yell at you.”
