Waterpolo season has officially begun! Tyaan had 2 games so far and is playing exceptionally well. She's running the pool which is really fun for me to watch. She handles the ball well, is strong enough to pressure the other team without getting pushed around herself. She is one of the captains and her coach has put her in point because she handles the ball and the other players better than anyone else on the team. It's not the funnest position to watch her play, but she plays it well and gets to handle the ball on every play. She is passing the ball really well, which isn't easy to do in this game, and is shooting great. She's also playing really smart and in one game got 2 penalties called on their goalie and got 5 meters, which is a penalty shot. She made the first one and almost made the last one.
Lining up for their game against Webb on 12/2
To begin a game, and each quarter, there is a sprint for the ball. Tyaan is usually the one to sprint because she swims so quickly. This is her getting ready for the sprint. (She's #3 this year)
Unfortunately they don't have a lot of experience on the team this year so they lost both games, but the playing time is helping the new girls so hopefully by the time league starts in January they will be playing well enough to do good in league.
