Hello Parents & Players,
I hope everyone is doing well during these crazy times. I have a few updates for this upcoming fall season of water polo. If we are allowed to start on time then our season would start on Monday August 3rd. This is potentially going to change due to the on going pandemic but until i hear otherwise i am going to get ready for the season as planned. CIF has presented a few options that involved pushing the start date back and having a shortened season. I hope this doesn't happen but it might have to. I was able to get back to my club team practices this past week and that has given me a renewed hope that we maybe able to start fall season on time. Please mark the start date on your calenders.
Practice times for the beginning of the season are still up in the air. We will practice in the morning or the evening before school starts. Once school starts we will most likely be going on the following schedule at Washington Park Pool. Varsity 2-4pm and JV 3-5pm. During season we will practice Monday-Friday unless we have a game on that day. We will be off on weekends unless we have a tournament or game. The first two weeks will be used to decide team placement and get back into shape. I do not plan on making cuts and everyone will make one of the teams. Practices will be finalized a few weeks before the season starts.
This will be my 3rd year as head coach of the boys program at classical academy. Our first two years have included a CIF Division 3 championship in 2018 and last year we had an outstanding record of 22-5 while winning our league. We have a new group of league teams this year and some other games scheduled against new teams. Varsity will have 3 tournaments and JV will have two. We have an outstanding group of players coming back this year with a strong group of upperclassmen and lots of young talent that is ready to step up.
Please get your physical and paperwork ready to turn in. You must have a current physical and there is 5 forms the school requires you turn in before i can let you practice. The 5 forms can normally be done online. This is most important thing to get done this summer.
I am going to publish the schedule in the next couple days. It is 90 percent complete and i will be putting it on the RepU ap and also emailing it out.
We wiil use RepU and email as the main forms of communication. You will be able to find the schedule and all news/updates on the "Caiman Sports" ap. That is the name of it in the ap store. I will send out weekly emails once the season starts with that weeks schedule.
I will update you if i hear anything about the status of our season. Please contact me if you have any questions. I am looking forward to another great season of water polo. My contact info is below if you need to get ahold of me.
