HOPKINS TOURNAMENT, NOVEMBER 5 — REVISED SCHEDULE
November 3, 2011 by Gloria Nussbaum ·
The Hopkins tournament has changed because Canterbury and Wilbraham & Munson are no longer able to play this Saturday. This is due to the snow storm last weekend. W & M is apparently closed until Monday.
As a result, there will be three teams and it will be a round robin format:
Game #1 3:00pm Hopkins v Eaglebrook
Game #2 4:10pm Staples v Eaglebrook
Game #3 5:20pm Hopkins v Staples
Each game will be played with 6 minute periods.
The first team listed will be the home team.
Bus time to be announced.
Revised Schedule for Greenwich Tournament
October 29, 2011 by Gloria Nussbaum ·
Weather permitting the Greenwich tournament is on and has been revised for Sunday (10/30). Please see the new schedule below. (Yes, Staples A plays Hudson Valley again.) We will send out an email early in the morning making a call to go or not, depending on the weather. Please assume and prepare as though we are playing.
The bus is still scheduled for 9:15. We will try to push it back once Dattco opens in the morning and aim for a 9:30 bus but please stay posted. The bus can just wait if we leave later.
Also, because the schedule was different in its original format, we have not ordered sandwiches for tomorrow. We will bring bagels and water but players should pack their own snacks as needed.

WATER POLO CLINIC IS ON FOR SUNDAY, OCTOBER 16
October 14, 2011 by Gloria Nussbaum ·
After all the back and forth, the clinic this Sunday, October 16 is on and will run from 9 to 11:30 am. We have a small turnout of about a dozen but Denis Zavolock, the coach, will customize the training for this group.
In addition, because of the reduced size and duration, and the fact that there is now one clinic instead of two, we are able to pay for it through the parents fund and will not need to collect any money. If you have already sent in a check for one of the prior dates, please contact Gloria Nussbaum to see what you would like to do about it (have it returned, torn up, etc.)
Thanks!
