We’re excited to share an update with you about the upcoming High School Water Polo season!
The season kicks off on January 13th, 2025, and we’re currently recruiting players who want to dive into this exciting sport. To help everyone get ready, Orlando Thunder Water Polo Club (who trains at the NTC) is offering a special program for new high school players during November and December. They’re calling it the Rising Stars program, and it’s a great way to get a head start!
Here are the details:
• Practice Times:
o Monday: 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM
o Tuesday & Thursday: 6:00 PM – 7:45 PM
• Cost: $200 for the full two months (including winter break!)
• Start Date: November 12th, 2023
Students can come try it out for one free practice before committing—just to see if they enjoy it!
Even if your student can’t join the winter sessions, they’re more than welcome to join the High School Water Polo Team during the regular season. We’re excited to build a team made up of players from all Lake County schools to represent the Lake Minneola High School team!
If your student isn’t attending Lake Minneola, no problem! Just reach out to Ulrikaperoni@gmail.com or contact Mrs. Cheney (the Athletic Director at LMHS) at cheneys@lake.k12.fl.us so we can make sure all the necessary paperwork is taken care of.
We also have some exciting upcoming events, including fundraisers and spirit nights! The next one at Portillo's on November 14th. Be sure to keep an eye on Lake Minneola’s social media for all the details. Even with the recent grant we received from USA Water Polo, we’re still working hard to raise funds for pool time, and if you know of any local businesses interested in supporting the team, we now have a direct link for donations: https://lake.revtrak.net/high-schools/lmhs/lmhs-athletics/lmhs-water-polo/
If you have any questions or want more info, feel free to reach out. We can’t wait to see your student on the water polo team!
