Players/Parents,

I am pleased to announce that Thunderstruck Water Polo Players and Coaches have been invited to tour the White House on Friday 9/28 before playing in the Second Annual Metro Tournament at George Mason University on 9/29 and 9/30. This is only our second year, but big things are happening. Congratulations to everyone who made the first year of water polo in Massachusetts a success.

High School Easterns, Wilton Varsity, and the George Mason Tournaments: will be invite only this year as we are limited to one team entry per event. Criteria for being selected for these travel tournaments will be announced to the players in early August. Part of the decision will be based on practice attendance, attitude, and effort throughout the next few months as our fall season gets under way. Players who attend boarding school and are unable to attend weeknight workouts in Beverly will have the ability to participate this fall on a limited basis.
MIT Camp: Registration for the MIT Camp is very limited, only a handful of spots remain. Please contact Coach Mercado at MIT and sign up asap. I don’t want any of you to be turned away.
Team Dues: July dues should be paid prior to the first practice on July 3rd.

Thanks,

-Tom
