HOME WORKOUTS

in this crazy time, all the coaches and executives at the Golden Jets are hoping every member and his/her family is safe and healthy AND doing the right thing by following the federal and provincial social distancing guidelines.

Some members have enquired about workouts to do at home.  Actually, we would have sent suggestions of specific things to do AND suggestions of web sites with videos to follow.  HOWEVER, we were prevented from doing this due to the WPC insurance situation.

Below you will find the amended clause of the WPC insurance policy relating to home training until September 20, 2020.  The process is very clear.

We hope you understand.

VIDEO SUGGESTIONS

In this crazy time, there are, of course, no competitions or club activites to report. No games. No practices. Certainly not what we all envisioned back in September.
Due to insurance issues with WPC, we cannot send you suggestions of workouts OR web sites to seek out to find workouts to do at home (see next post).
So, another thing that perhaps can help maintain the connection to water polo is game video. To that extent, club Head Coach and Founder George Gross, Jr. will be starting up a weekly or bi-weekly video review session of international, collegiate and Golden Jets club games.
Even if members are not involved in the actual video breakdown session, everyone can enjoy the game video on their own.
A few days before each video breakdown session, George will post a link to the game being reviewed. You can watch it beforehand to get familiar with the action and do your own analysis.
Our first video is the Hungary-Spain preliminary round game from this year’s European Championships (the teams met again later in the gold medal game). The game ended in a 11-11 tie. When you see the player introductions, you will see what we all wish we could have here!

ENJOY!
