Reminders and Updates



Hope you and your family have been entertained and inspired by the recent performances of Michael Phelps and his team mates in the Olympics!

Some quick reminders and updates for Sugarbears.

We have a season recap meeting with the City of Roseville this Thursday, August 21st, from 6-7pm in the Riley Library (next to the Sports Center). This will include an information session regarding our expected change to joining the NorCal league this year. Click here for a page of FAQs on the expected changes. Immediately following the meeting will be a Roseville Aquatic Teams Booster Club (RATBC) Meeting (from 7-8pm). If you plan to attend the meeting(s) please let our VFCAL rep Megan Henry MHenry@roseville.ca.us. Sugarbear parents are not required to attend, but we want to make you aware of the upcoming meetings in case you are interested in attending. Also, feel free to contact any one of our board members, if you have any additional questions or concerns that you want to have represented and not already voiced within our survey.

Have yet to fill out a survey?
Click here and take the 5-10 minutes to complete our Sugarbear Year End Evaluation Survey.
We have received 35 responses so far. A completed survey before September 1st puts your name in the hat for a drawing for a 2009 FREE registration fee.

A reminder that this coming Saturday, August 23rd beginning at 7:30pm is the annual Oakmont Alumni Water Polo game at Oakmont Community Pool. Great chance for a Sugarbear to see some exciting water polo played in live action.

For those following water polo in the Olympics, the U.S. Men's team upset Croatia and are playing today (August 18th) in the hunt for a medal, going up against Germany in the final day of the Men's Preliminary competition.

Attention! Youth Water Polo League in Roseville!


Want to stay in the water this Fall and try out the fun and exciting Olympic sport of water polo? The Fall Youth League is for boys and girls ages 5 to 14. No prior experience is necessary, though good swimming ability is a must. 5 to 7 year olds will play in the Noodle Ball group where they will be able to use a water noodle for bouyancy and support. 8-14 year olds will be grouped by age, ability and experience in practices and games.

There is a Free Introductory Clinic on Sunday, August 17 from 5:00 to 6:00pm at the Roseville Aquatics Center to get your feet wet and try things out.

The Fall Youth League will begin the week of August 25 with practices on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons. There will be four "league" game dates through the end of the program on October 12.

This program is being organized and run by American River Water Polo Club, the largest and most successful youth water polo organization in the Sacramento area.

For more information and to REGISTER, go to www.arwpc.com. Space is limited, so sign up today!
