Titans Cup (14U), January 31-February 1, 2009

As you know, we are hosting the annual Titans Cup tournament at Nepean Sportsplex on January 31- February 1. Parents of Academy and ILWP players- if your child is participating we expect that you can help out as a Minor Official.  There are a number of volunteer Minor Official roles that we need filled, including Game Secretary (track the game statistics on a laptop computer) and Game Clock operator, as well as set-up and take-down crews. We can ONLY make this event a success with your help.

Older athletes and students are more than welcome to volunteer for these shifts, and we would be happy to sign off your volunteer hours for high school.

To sign up to volunteer, please click on this link and follow the instructions (volunteer shifts are 2 games at a time): http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pScAI6auULRZRXN5lb3P5LA  (if you are wondering which team your child is on, rosters will be sent out through team managers. They are 'roughly' based on the participants at each of the practice pools, with a few changes to balance out the teams).

Minor Officials are expected to wear a white t-shirt (with or without collar; logos are okay). Please report to the Hospitality Room 15 minutes before your shift (the classroom just off the pool deck, near the dive towers).

      Minor Officials Training (for volunteers intending to help with Titans Cup 14U or the Titans Invitational 16/18U)- choice of two sessions, both Sundays. We don't want this to be stressful!  If you've never done it before, or have done it and would like a refresher, please join us at one of the two sessions:  January 18 or 25, 6:30pm at Nepean Sportsplex.  Please register by contacting Deanna at INFO@titanswaterpolo.ca

As well, we will be asking for donations for the Hospitality Room (for volunteers, officials and coaches). More information to follow on this.

If you have questions, please direct them to Tournament Director Colin Kelly at Colin.Kelly@alcatel-lucent.com

$50 REWARD Offered For Recruitment of New Players!

In an effort to step up our recruitment of new players, the Titans are offering a REWARD ($50 cheque) payable to any player or parent who is able to bring a brand new player on board. While our aim is primarily to broaden our base by increasing the number of players in 'I Love Water Polo' and Recreational House League, we will also honour a reward for new recruits to our competitive programs (by invitation of the head coaches in this case). Potential new players are welcome to come out and try a practice before committing. In order to cash in on your $50 reward, the new player must sign up and pay for the remainder of the season (late registrants are entitled to a pro-rated fee).  Contact General Manager Deanna Barry at INFO@titanswaterpolo.ca. OFFER EXPIRES FEBRUARY 13, 2009.
