Are you ready for a fun, exciting, successful season of Beaverton Waterpolo? We have returning assistant coach Michael Rubottom on staff as well as many returning varsity and JV athletes.

Pre-season practices will begin for every athlete on Monday, August 18th. Practices will be held from 6:00am-8:15am at Beaverton pool and 8:30am-9:30am for dryland. Yes, that is bright and early, a good way to get ready for the start of school and prep for future morning practices. Once school starts we will move practice to 2:45-4:45pm in the afternoon with some scheduled morning practices as well running from 5:30am-7:00am for varsity athletes.

All athletes need to bring a suit, goggles and running shoes for dryland. It is important that prior to our first practice all athletes need to go to the Activities Office at Beaverton H.S. to complete an Activities Form and pay the fee. I have reserved an hour of time with the AD dedicated to water polo on Thursday, August 14th 1:00-2:00pm. If you are a first year high school athlete or a junior athlete you also need to have proof of a current physical on the district's special form. Then, you will be all ready to go. All paperwork must be turned in order to practice.

You can get a preview of the Metro League schedule at www.metroleague.org. As always part of your summer job was to recruit so, if I missed some potential athletes make sure you pass this information on.
