This year the JV water polo team had a competitive season, losing their last game against the Schurr Spartans with a score of 6-12. The girls are training for the upcoming games, currently holding a 1-3 preseason record and a 0-3 league record.

“Our season wasn’t as good as I thought it was going to be but I can tell the team is still trying their hardest,” sophomore Fiona Han said.

Swimming while trying to throw a ball into a net is not always an easy task. According to the team, that is why they have practice every day in order to perfect their passing and treading and to be prepared to battle in the water in their next league game against the Mark Keppel Aztecs on Feb.11 at Barns Park.

During practices the girls have increased their drills in order to increase their stamina during a game. The girls must be able to stay strong in the water for a good amount of time before getting tired.

Although this is a young team, consisting of mostly first year freshmen and sophomores, they are improving their tactics with some help from the varsity team. According to JV Coach Fabian, in order to practice certain plays, they have run throughs with the varsity players. This not only helps the team gain more experience in the water, but it helps the girls fix some mistakes made during a game.

“The team is going to end their season with well by gaining experience and knowledge of water polo, in order to come back next year stronger,” Fabian said.
