Stanford Water Polo Club Information

The Stanford Water Polo Club prides itself in continuing to send many new teams to the Junior Olympics. This year, the Club has decided not to charge the families for the costs of participating in Junior Olympics. The Stanford Water Polo Club will be paying all expenses for Junior Olympics this year, which includes entry fee costs of each participating team, t-shirts for all athletes on our J.O. teams, and per diem and driving expenses for each of our coaches. Every athlete that participates with the Stanford Water Polo Club at the Junior Olympic Qualifying Tournament is required to commit their participation in the Junior Olympic Tournament. We are implementing this firm policy because of the new Pacific Zone regulation stated below. Every team which qualifies for J.O.'s in the Junior Olympic Qualifying Tournament MUST play in J.O.'s. If a team drops out after qualifying, the entire club which they represent will be banned from participating in Junior Olympics the following year. Due to this new rule, each athlete participating in the Junior Olympic Qualifying Tournament must sign the Stanford Water Polo Club Declaration of Commitment form (emailed out today) and give it to your coach with a check for $100 made payable to NCWPC by Thursday, June 9, 2005. Your check will be held as a guarantee of your commitment. Once you have fulfilled this commitment and participated in Junior Olympics, your check will be returned to you. If you do not honor your commitment, the $100 check will be deposited and used toward the Club's operating expenses. If you do not return this form with a check to your coach by Thursday, June 9, 2005, your position on the team will be given to an alternate. Please find the Junior Olympic teams listed below.
