Glendale High School Water Polo
TEAM POLICIES:

Behavior:
Players who disrupt practice or games with inappropriate behavior or language are subject to suspension or dismissal from the team.

We expect Glendale High water polo players to be standouts in the classroom as well as the pool. Players who get unsatisfactory marks for academics or citizenship or get referrals for behavior problems in the classroom will be disciplined.

Attendance: Once school begins...
Varsity practices- Players will be in the water at 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday ready to begin the workout. There may be Saturday practices TBA.
Junior Varsity/Novice practices- Players will be in the water at 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday ready to begin the workout. There may be Saturday practices TBA.

English-only:
When on the pool deck, at practices, games, team meetings or on the way to and from team contests on the bus, players will speak English only.

Jobs:
Water polo is a full time activity. Players who have jobs during the season will find that it is nearly impossible to make all of the mandated workouts.

Shaving:
Shaving is a way of life in aquatic sports. For special games, team members may be asked to shave their arms, legs and torso (as they would for a championship swimming competition). Whether the team shaves or not is at the discretion of the coach.

Driving:
Once the season starts in December, driving a private car to a GHS game is not allowed unless a note from a parent or guardian is on file with the athletic directors office. Your parent may drive you home from a game.

Morning Workouts:
It is typical for water polo teams to conduct morning workouts during the season.
