The Garfield Gators are in the pool!

0  comments

Today was a big day for city water polo efforts as the Garfield Gators got into the pool and began their quest for a new sport, water polo.

Practice times: Arrival at 11 am for chalk and tech talk with Coach Mark. We’ll cover skills, tactics, digital badges and use tablets. Then from 11:30 to 11:45 we’ll do dry-land exercises. We used some medicine balls, running, conditioning routines. Change and then hit the pool for a solid hour, from noon to 1 pm.

Weather permitting. This is an outdoor pool. If there is a storm, we can’t swim, of course.
