- Games are fast and players are substituted throughout the game.

- If your player cannot stay the entire morning or will arrive late, please let Coach Tate know directly so he can readjust his roster as needed.
- No concessions are available to purchase at Away Pools.
- Ensure your player and family packs lots of water and snacks.
- Last year, we were able to find seating poolside at all locations as Water Polo is not as busy as swim meets, let’s hope it will be the same this year. If you want, bring a blanket / chairs and leave them in the car. You can always pop back out and get them once your player in warming up in the pool.
- Please be respectful of our Host Clubs and do not visit areas outside the match competition confines.
- Midlakes Water Polo is casual and fun, please ensure your player and their guests display good sportsmanship.

Coach Tate has done his best to assign players to each team as evenly as possible, taking into account age and ability, to allow all players a chance to play and have fun.
