Practice Expectations

Water polo is an extremely demanding sport, both physically and mentally. The level of fitness required to play the sport, and especially to play it well, is generally higher than a lot of sports athletes may have been a part of in the past. Because of this, practices are required and attendance is expected at all practices. Practices are important not only for fitness, but also to building a cohesive and united team.

In addition, your athlete is expected to keep up with their schoolwork as that is their primary responsibility. 

If a player cannot attend practice, they are expected to let coaches know by email before the start of practice (with their parents cc’d in the message).

Athletes need to be at practice 15 min. before the start of our pool time for stretching/warm up. This warm up time is very important to the health of our athletes as well as injury prevention.

Players should bring to pool practices a water bottle, goggles, elastic stretching band (low - medium resistance), athletic suit, towel, and for longer practices, a snack. For dry land, they should bring a water bottle, athletic clothes/shoes, a towel (for lying on grass, not required), and if Covid rears again, a face covering mask if using the weight room.
