2011 Boys Water Polo Season

Hi Everyone:

Welcome (almost) to the 2011 SHS Boys Water Polo season.  We’ve made progress in the past few months on scheduling practice times, organizing volunteers and setting the game schedule.  We’d like to share this information so you can begin planning for the season.

Please be sure to sign up for e-news and updates by entering your email address on the right hand side of the Staples Boys Water Polo website.

Theo will be returning as head coach. Brandon Arias will be assisting 4 days per week. We hope to begin captains’ practices the week of 8/22. A location is not yet finalized but we will let you know as soon as we can.

Try outs will be Saturday 8/27 from 12:30 to 2:30. The playing season will run through November 12, followed by a banquet, date to be announced. We will have our kick-off parents’ meeting at the same time at the school, location TBD. Nussbaum’s will host a season opening pool party at their home on Saturday 9/10. Our practice schedule is as follows:

Monday – Friday:  5:30PM – 7:00PM
Saturday:  7AM – 8:30AM
Saturday:  4PM – 6PM

Our game schedule, still subject to some changes, is attached.

Daniel and David are working on suits and team apparel, and plan to have samples and order forms for the team kick-off meeting.

Thanks to all our volunteers:  Communications and website management – Gloria Nussbaum; Fundraising – Jeanne Bowles; Bake Sales – Julie Haroun; Apparel – Lee DeMonico; Pasta Dinners – Joan Siegel; Travel Bus Sandwiches and Snacks – Jocelyn Armstrong; Senior Day – Jodi Reiner; Banquet – Gloria Nussbaum & Joan Siegel; Finance – Rick Yu.

We are still in need of volunteers to write articles and submit them to the newspapers, to take photos and film games, and to prepare the yearbook for the year-end banquet. Let us know if you have any questions.  We’re looking forward to a great season.
