Hooking Pittsburgh into some swimming and water polo this week, month and season

Hi Friends,

Join us for some swimming and water polo this summer with some expanding opportunities.

See the Google Calendar link at http://CLOH.org.


10:30 am Mondays, West Penn Rec Center outdoor pool, Polish Hill.
The Garfield Gators (boys & girls) are there too!

6-7:30 pm Mondays, Northside's Sue Murray Swim Pool

11 am to noon, Tuesdays, Citiparks Sheridan's outdoor swim pool with some Learn & Earn youth workers. This is a short walk from Langley HS.

6-7:30 pm Tuesdays, adult masters players gather for water polo in the deep end at Mt. Washington's Ream outdoor pool. Kid's play in the shallow end.

10:30 am Wednesdays, West Penn Rec Center, again.

6-7:30 pm Wednesdays, Northside's Sue Murray again.

11 am to noon Thursdays, Sheridan, again.

6-7:30 pm Thursdays, Mt. Washington's Ream pool.

Friday 5-8 pm at Hill District's Thelma Lovette YMCA indoor pool.

All outdoor sessions are weather permitting. These are casual, drop-in sessions where rookies and volunteers are most welcome.

We hope to sustain these practices throughout August and then transfer them to the Obama Academy pool as we're starting a varsity water polo team for the high school boys and girls. Plus, many other city and area high school principals have gotten letters that invite them to join a sport-team coop so that their students can participate on our scholastic water polo squad(s). The first to opt-in, Seaton LaSalle High School. Welcome.

Sadly, the pledge for the Pittsburgh Promise shrunk by $10,000 for city kids this week. In my humble opinion, we need to get our city kids better sports and fitness opportunities so many more can be RECRUITED into colleges. The sports background is attractive in college applications as it teaches discipline, goal-setting and teamwork. At Summer Dreamers we're working on backstroke, plus gaining respect for ourselves, our mates, our surroundings and playing well with others.

Stay cool at the pool and hope you and yours are safe throughout the summer!

Phone message script

This is Coach Mark with Summer Dreamers water polo.

I'm calling to the homes of the students who are with us at Camp Langley with Summer Dreamers.

Housekeeping first: Thanks for taking this call. If nobody at this phone number has any kids in our water polo program – I appoligize for the call and if you PRESS #1 on your phone, I'll kindly remove this phone # from this summer's call list.

Good news: At camp, we are making progress. Most have made great strides in fitness, running and swimming.

Bad news: Some of the behaviors with some of the students at the pool, in the locker areas and especially at transition times have been making un-necessary burdens to other students, the staff and even the lifeguards. I'm heartbroken to see some of the kids fighting. Camp behaviors need to improve or else we run the risk of getting expelled from taking our squads to the pools.

Guardians, please take a moment to talk about good behaviors within the activities and throughout the school day. We are stressing LISTENING, playing well with others and good sportsmanship.

Extra news: The Liberty Mile is approaching. Plus, we have EVENING swim sessions and will be holding extra practices AFTER Summer Dreamers ends. Come for a swim on the Northside on Mondays and Wednesdays, or Mt. Washington on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the Hill District YMCA on Fridays. We need all the paperwork for the race entry right away. A new handout is expected to be sent home tomorrow.

is delighted to present

Joe Jencks in a special performance

Sunday, August 16

4:00 PM

    Joe Jencks is an international touring performer and award-winning songwriter. His career is based as much in ministering to the human spirit as it is in the performance of music. "A Joe Jencks concert is definitely not a visit to the inner world of some guy with a guitar who would like us all to sit still and listen politely. It's an occasion for singing, a contagious rising up of voices, an act of joy and defiance! …Tapping into the latent, nearly mystical beauty that a roomful of people can unleash by singing together." – Seattle Folklore Society
    "Joe Jencks is the type of musician that will cause you to drop that morning newspaper or pull your car to the side of the road when you hear his songs. His voice will instantly draw you into his passionate songs. He is a musician whose music will become part of you. His craft and artistry will remind you of the best efforts of Phil Ochs, Stan Rogers, and Woody Guthrie. The troubadour tradition is alive and well in the 21st century with the music of Joe Jencks." 
-Ron Olesko, WFDU –FM Teaneck, NJ
     We hope to see many of you at CindyStock, yatescancerfund@hotmail.com, in Wexford on August 15 with Joe Jencks, Joe Crookston, Jill West and the Blues Attack, and Maura Elyse. Then you can come to Friendship the next day for Joe Jencks' encore performance.

Check out Joe and his music at http://www.joejencks.com
 
Seating is limited. For information and/or an invitation, call or email:

Fwd: Pittsburgh Water Polo at the Cincinnati Shoot-Out Videos on You Tube (some of the Games0

Pittsburgh Water Polo

I have uploaded to YouTube some of the Games for the 18U Boys (A & B) from the Cincinnati Tournament for viewing. I was not able to get the Girls games + I missed some of the other Boys games as well (as explained below).

 

Filmed and Uploaded:

 

Championship Game for 18U-B Team: Tiger (17) vs. WindyCity Chicago (6)

===================================

Game #2 - 18U-A Team: Tiger (10) vs. WindyCity Chicago (5) - Charles Ross is outstanding in the Goal.

 

Game #3 - 18U-A Team: Tiger (22) vs. Lincoln-way Area Waterpolo (6)

 

Game #5 - 18U-A Team: The last 2:32 minutes of 4th Quarter - I was able to capture (with the other memory card) the final few minutes of this game with Charles Ross and Cam Makin climbing out of the pool after the win. It was the last game the guys would ever play for the Tiger.

 

With only about 3 minutes left in the Championship Game #5, the Camera overheated and shut down. I quickly switched memory cards and placed the overheated card on the ledge overlooking the Pool. I then got distracted and forgot to pick up the memory card at the U of C Pool. It is sickening not to have those (2) last Games on film.

 

Missing Games due to lost Memory Card:

Game #4 - 18U-A Team: Tiger (16) vs. St. Xavier (7)

Game #5 - 18U-A Team: Tiger (17) vs. WindyCity Chicago (7)

===================================

Partially Filmed & Not Uploaded:

Game #1 - 18U-A Team: Tiger (16) vs. Upper Arlington (3)

Best Regards, Bill Anthony in Erie, PA

Thank You card from American Water Polo for work on Summer Dreamers

Appreciation helps.
