NorCal Schedule Update -- Final Weeks of the Winter Season


We want to share some important information with you as we head into the final two weeks of the NorCal Winter program.

1) FINAL WEEK SCHEDULE
We WILL have practice as scheduled on Saturday at Menlo, from 10:30 to 12:30.

Next week we will need to start our practices a bit later because the Menlo swim team will be in the pool until 5:45. Below is the practice schedule:

Saturday, January 28 -- 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Tuesday, January 31 -- 5:30 p.m. -7:30 p.m. (note the later start time)
Thursday, February 2 -- 5:30 p.m. -7:30 p.m.
Saturday, January 7 -- NO PRACTICE

2) NEXT WEEKEND (FEB 4-5)
Next weekend is the Stanford Invitational, probably the most competitive women's collegiate water polo tournament of the year. We will not have practice next Saturday so that everyone can go over to Stanford and watch.

3) SPRING WATER POLO
We plan to have limited workouts and three or four weekend competitions during the spring months, so watch your email and the blog for more details.

Thanks for all your hard work during the past two months.
