New Area Water Polo Club

Exciting sport looking for new players

I am excited to let you know the building of the new Bremen Area Bandits Water Polo Club is well underway. We have scheduled registration for the first week of practice (June 5 – June 8) at Bremen High School. Practice and registration will be held Monday and Wednesday from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.. Cost is $100/person.

Practices will be held Monday – Thursday with beginners and younger kids getting their own time from 6pm to 7pm on Mondays and Wednesdays and 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The older and more experienced kids will practice from 7 - 9 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays and 7:30 – 9:00 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Of course we understand kids are involved in other sports during the summer, so attendance is not mandatory, but as always, the more you practice the better you get.

We are also planning to have beginner and advanced clinics to help develop our athlete's water polo skills and knowledge. More information on clinics, games, and tournament opportunities to follow.

At this time we are looking for coaches and volunteers for booster board positions. Booster board members will be responsible for a variety of duties including fundraising, communication between the coaches and parents and other simple but important tasks. If you are interested, please let us know.

Of course we are still in need of start-up money. We have a great raffle with money, Cubs tickets and White Sox tickets as prizes. Email us for more details, and let me know ASAP if you want to purchase raffle tickets. The Drawing is Monday June 5, 2017 at the first practice and tickets are $5.00/each and five (5) for $20.00. Checks can be made out to Bremen Area Bandits. Shoot us an email if you need tickets or have prizes to donate.
