Del Mar Water Polo – Kotor, Montenegro (July 14, 2011)
Del Mar Water Polo Club is now back online! I apologize for the delay in updates, but our wireless signal in Montenegro was less than ideal and precluded us from sending out any news. We have corrected the problem and should be good going forward. The boys just finished their second full day in Montenegro and have been kept quite busy training twice a day. One of the more prominent local water polo club teams, VK Primorac, has been kind enough to host the boys during their time here in Kotor, Montenegro. The boys have held their own, for the most part, while scrimmaging the various age groups from VK Primorac. In between training, the team is getting plenty of rest at the Hotel Perpera in Tivat, Montenegro, which is a 20 minute drive up the Adriatic coastline. We will try and keep you posted on a daily basis as best as we can. So long for now from Kotor, Montenegro.
Del Mar Water Polo Arrives in Montenegro!
The Del Mar Water Polo Club has just arrived in Montenegro! We arrived after a long day (or two) of travel and started off playing a pick-up game against a local Montenegro team in their home court in the Adriatric Sea. At one point there were 40+ random fans watching from the sidewalk as we played. The team played well but fell by several goals in the end. Nonetheless, a great opportunity to play against some great local water polo players. To all of you back home in San Diego who are interested in how and what we are doing, stay tuned over the next two weeks for continual blog updates. Sincerely, John.

Congrats to the Del Mar Water Polo Club 16s Boys for winning the championship game of the 2011 Left Coast Water Polo Tournament (also known as the Commerce Water Polo Tournament) this past weekend. The 16s boys went undefeated through the tournament before soundly beating the 16s boys from San Diego Shores in the championship game. Lefty Austin Rone was chosen as the most valuable field player and Joe Cleary was selected as the most valuable goalie. That is two championship trophies the Del Mar Water Polo 16s boys have brought home in just the last month of play. Once again, congratulations to the boys and head coach Brett Ormsby for a job well done!

Del Mar Water Polo Club just completed a highly successful ‘Intro to Water Polo’ camp yesterday. Del Mar Water Polo is an established youth sports club based in San Diego, CA, dedicated to teaching the fundamentals of water polo technique to boys and girls ages 6-18. There was a very generous turnout by many San Diego boys and girls who are interested in learning the wonderful game of water polo for the first time. The water polo camp was run by Del Mar’s own Thalia Ormsby along with several other Del Mar Water Polo Club coaches and alumni players.

Water Polo and the NBA?

“A great way to become a better water polo player is to watch the best players in the world play. Every young kid should spend some time every week watching video of international water polo to pick up some of the skills that top-flight professionals use. This is something that is definitely lacking in the United States water polo community. I think a great way to put this in prospective is to think about other major sports in America. Right now the NBA playoffs are going on, and I would guarantee that every future NBA star 5, 10, 15 years down line is watching Kobe, and Lebron, and Durant and then going to the gym the next day and emulating the moves they saw their favorite star make the night before. Unfortunately, in water polo the vast majority of our kids don’t even know who the sports’ stars are, let alone what they can do in a water polo game. Once kids begin to study the best players, not only do they become inspired by the amazing things they see great players do, but they realize when they try to emulate it, that it opens another possibility to what they can do in the water, and their own game begins to expand.” — Brett Ormsby, Founder and Head Coach, Del Mar Water Polo Club, delmarwaterpoloclub.org
