DDO Classic Tournament Report, Nov
16-18
Submitted by Sharon Lapins
Several of our female Titans athletes participated in the DDO Classic
Tournament this past weekend in both the Cadet and Junior
events. All of the competition that our teams faced was
tough and very intense including DDO, CAMO and Storm from
Vancouver.
The main objective of our participation in this tournament was to assess
how our new training program has affected our athletes on many levels
including fitness and skills as well as their overall
confidence. Particularly with regard to fitness, our
athletes were able to keep up with the fast pace of the games proving
that all of those hours of swimming at the beginning of our season have
given them fantastic endurance for this level of play.
Coached by Rob Tarnoczy and Kasia Hart, both Cadet and Junior teams came
out strong giving their opponents some worries for the upcoming season
of tournaments. Although results were not the focus of this event
for us, our Junior team beat Storm in their first game against them
placing the Titans firmly at the top of the list of teams to beat.
Great job, girls!
GO TITANS!
