Water Polo

It's water polo season again and it has been a busy month. The boys had games Tues & Wed, with a tournament Thurs, Fri & Sat. Friday night they played this other team that doesn't do so well. They actually make our team look really good. The goalie has got to be as small as Eric or even smaller, which is kind of funny. We know what it's like getting crushed and humiliated, so Coach came up with a genius idea - the two top players weren't allowed to shoot, and everybody else had to play wrong handed. We didn't know what was going on at first, but once we realized, it became a lot of fun to watch. (We thought they were just playing really badly!) They would try to shoot with their left hand and the ball would just roll off of their fingertips, they'd pass like girls, etc. We still won 9-4. That was my favorite game of the week. (It was also the only one they won.) Anyway, here are some of their pix from other games. Troy is #7, and Jason is #4. Of course, I couldn't get them in the same pictures!!!

Coach is lecturing during a time out.

It's a very physical game. I couldn't tread water for 5 minutes, let alone 45!!

Jason is usually the sprinter, who races for the ball. He does pretty good getting it. He's the fastest swimmer on our team.
