Players/Parents,
As the end of school/summer approaches I just wanted to update everyone on a few things:
Spring Session: June 9th will be the last practice date of the 10 week Spring Session. Details on the Summer/Fall Sessions will be distributed soon.
Summer Tournaments:
A. Thunderstruck has entered two teams in the 3rd Annual "Man-Up for Life" Charity Water Polo Tournament. I have entered one team in the high school boys bracket and one in the high school girls bracket. The event will take place Saturday, July 28th at Schlegel Park in Reading, PA. Each team will play three games.
All proceeds from this event get donated to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for cancer research. In the first two years of the tournament $25,000 was raised.
Players attending will need to arrange their hotel and travel comidations, be registered as a team member through Coach Gately, and pay the tournament entry fee of $35.00.
I strongly advise players to carpool and room together at the hotel. The hotel rate is 80 per night per room plus 11% tax. The rates are per room, not per person. The hotel will allow 3 kids and one adult per room.
Players interested in attending this tournament are advised to reserve their hotel rooms as soon as possible. Ten rooms (and only ten rooms) are currently being held through our team travel agent Carole Buonopane: (978) 774-4630. Please have your credit card ready when calling.
B. Thunderstruck is also planning on attending the August Family Festival Tournament organized by American Water Polo at Villanova University. Details to follow.
