Work Schedule changes

If you can not work your shift, you will be in charge to switch it with a teammate.

The Tournament set up for NORTHWOOD

With a big league game on Tuesday, I didn't want to play 2 games on Monday night. So the tournament director has changed the tournament around.

Normally the winners of the first four games play again that night, but if Northwood wins against
Temescal Canyon, then the losers of the first four games will play again on Monday at 7 & 8 pm. That means
the four winners on Monday would play at 3 & 4 pm on Friday and again at 7 & 8 pm with the teams losing
their first games playing the 5 & 6 pm games. It's really not that complicated if you look at the schedule. The
top two from this group would advance to Northwood on Saturday, the 2nd two go to Beckman, the 3rd two
go to Yorba Linda and the last 2 go to Katella as usual.

Guest Coach Ivan Rackov available for private lessons

Message from Coach Steve and the Northwood Water Polo Club:

The club is very happy to have a very special guest coach this week at
Northwood WPC. Ivan Rackov, a member of the Cal Bears water polo
program and the 2011 Cutino Award winner will be coaching all week
with Coach Jure. This is an unbelievable opportunity to be coached by
the best collegiate water polo player in the USA. If you're
interested in some individual instruction with Ivan, please contact
Coach Jure jbelamari@yahoo.com to schedule them.

Here is a quick bio on Ivan taken from http://ncaawaterpolo.blogspot.com

Ivan Rackov of UC Berkley and Annika Dries of Stanford are the 2011
winners of the Peter J. Cutino Award. For those unaware, the Peter J.
Cutino award is considered the Heisman Trophy of college water polo.
It is awarded to the best player in the collegiate game. Seven
different male players have taken home the Cutino (Tony Azevado won
four times), while 12 different females have won the award (Cami Craig
is the only female to claim the award twice).

Rackov is only the second Golden Bear to win Cutino award. The native
from Belgrade, Serbia, who was named the 2010 Player of the Year by
the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches, led the MPSF with 79
goals while adding 82 assists and 70 steals on the season. He also
guided the Bears to the NCAA Championship game before losing a
heartbreaker in overtime 12-10 to USC.

Congratulations Allie Flath and Emma Verdecia All City Irvine Team

CLUB

High School - Tuesday and Thursday - 4PM-5:30PM - Coach Steve Carrera. Starts 3/8/11.

This is for players of all levels. Varsity/JV/Frosh-Soph. Boys and Girls.

The Cost is $200, this is not mandatory for High School but it is recommended.

If kids are doing other clubs, they will not be charged for the session and can still practice.

The goal is to start playing together and to give everyone an oppurtunity to sharpen and/or improve skills. This does not take the place of NHS Swimming.

For those of you who don't know Coach Steve Carrera, he is the head coach of the Northwood Water Polo Club, Concordia University (top 10 team in the country), and former Northwood High School Water Polo Coach taking all his teams to the quarter finals and finals of the CIF playoffs and winning the Masters Championship in 2006 (best HS team in the state of CA). He is a very experienced and knowledgable coach. He is also my brother, and cares about the high school program as much as I do.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
