MEMORIAL WATER POLO CLUB “The Adventure Begins”

The Memorial Swimming and Diving Team is embarking on some exciting times as we start playing water polo season this spring. We have experienced some great success in our aquatic programs. Now, we want to expand our program to include water polo to only strengthen our current swimming and diving programs. This is a great sport that will help develop your son’s or daughter’s skills as they build teamwork and have fun.

However, unlike swimming and diving, the sport of water polo is not sanctioned by the UIL until the FALL of 2022. The water polo programs in Texas high schools are sanctioned through TISCA. Since our water polo is not a UIL sport yet, our program must be self-financed.

Water Polo is the spring semester off season conditioning program for the swim team. We strongly encourage everyone to participate and learn from playing in games and practice.

Expectations
● We expect each person to be respectful to every player, coach, and adult.
● We also expect each person to attend practices, activities, & games regularly.
● All players must have completed school physicals on file in order to participate.
● All players will follow all school/game rules and play cleanly during all activities.

Player Fees (​player fees includes a team suit)
● $180 Entry Fee per person
○ Checks made out to “​Mustang Water Polo Club​” or ​Venmo @docjenwelch
● Reason: We will have to pay for tourney entry fees, officials, equipment, coaching, etc.

Schedule of Games
● We will play district games on Tuesday during the season.
● The season will run from March till May (STATE girls May 7-8 & boys 14-15).

Tournaments (3 teams)
● We will play in a tournament some weekends on Fri & Saturday. Many of our games will be at the SBISD Nat this season.

Transportation
● We will have bus transportation for week away day games and practices. This year due to Covid-19 parents may transport athletes to games if they inform the coach.

Practices ​(mainly Monday-Friday unless games)
● Start of 8th period till -5:20 which will include swimming & polo

Insurance
● The SBISD athletic Insurance will be valid during the water polo season.

Benefits of Water Polo
● Water polo offers the benefits of swimming with the social aspect of, say basketball or soccer. So you have the cardiovascular benefits of swimming but then you get the technical, tactical and social aspects of a team sport, which makes it extremely unique.

Parent Meeting: Thursday, March March 4th (Zoom)
● Please watch out for an email with login details.

Covid-19 / Social Distancing
