Regarding goal sizes:

1) For 10U Coed, smaller goals will be used. The sizes should be identical for the SOPAC Quals and NJO's at Stanford, although the manufacturer may not be the same.

2) For 12U, same regulation size as for 14U and above. NJO's at Stanford will not have smaller goals for 12U so the SOPAC quals will not. As an aside, USAWP is working to incorporate smaller 12U goals into the 2019 NJO's in Orange County, which means that hosts for SOPAC events will begin to build infrastructure from now until then in order to have the infrastructure in place. Again, USAWP has advised that smaller goals will not be used for 12's for NJO's for 2018.

Southern Pacific (SOPAC) Zone of USA Water Polo, Inc. (USAWP)

National Championship Qualification Event and Host Bidding Guidelines

The National Governing Body (NGB), United States Water Polo, Inc. (USAWP) requires that the SOPAC Zone (“the Zone”) host annual Qualification Tournament Events (Qualification Events) for the USAWP National Championship Events (National Championships) including but not limited to

• Regional Junior Olympics;

• Autumn Champions Cup; and

• SPA Championships

The process for bidding, hosting, seeding and scheduling has evolved over the years. The current Zone model provides that qualified independent bidders (Host Bidders) in cooperation with the Zone, host the Qualification Events under these Zone guidelines. The Zone solicits bids for Qualifications Events throughout the competition year. The Host Bidders who win the bidding competition and are awarded to host the competitions are called the Hosts.

The attached SoPac Bidding Specs have been developed to document the procedures and policies for Qualification Events. 

ALL BIDS ARE DUE BY FEBRUARY 16, 2018 AT 5PM.

In boy's division medal matches Vanguard edged Stanford 5-4 in the final with SOCAL downing CC United 9-2 to take bronze.

Prior to the first and third place games beginning, the Jody Campbell and Maureen O'Toole Sportsmanship Awards were presented to athletes from each team competing at the Champions Cup. Campbell and O'Toole have a storied history within USA Water Polo as Campbell helped the USA Men's Olympic Water Polo Team to consecutive silver medals at the 1984 and 1988 Olympic Games while O'Toole was a key member of the USA Women's Olympic Water Polo Team that won silver at the 2000 Olympic Games, the first to ever offer women's water polo. Congratulations to all the athletes selected.

Legendary Hornet Aquatics coach Ernie Polte, and father of SCSB Lifeguard alumni Larry Polte, passed last Thursday night at his home in San Clemente. Coach Polte was 90 years old and had been fighting advanced stage liver cancer for several months. 

A FLC gradute, Polte coched and taught at Fullerton from 1962 to 1990 winning 12 conference titles, 6 SoCal titles, and 3 state championships. Ernie was one of the first watermen to swim, play water polo, scuba dive, compete in lifeguard (LA County) competitions, and open water swims right up to his 90th. 

Fullerton College has posted a tribute to Ernie HERE.
