A unique opportunity for Tulare County High School junior and senior girls and boys water polo players to get recognition from college water polo programs. Hosted by South Valley Water Polo Cub and managed by Magnum Athletics Management.  Former Olympians Merrill Moses' video presentation and world-famous Tony Azevedo bring their expertise and knowledge of college water polo recruiting for a six-hour showcase of our Tulare County top water polo players.

 

Your coach knows better than anybody the players on your team that have the desire and ability to be successful college student-athletes. That's why you have been nominated. This showcase will be live-streamed to college coaches and video of shooting drills and 3-on-3 non-contact tournament play will be sent to coaches as well.  Each high school in Tulare County has been asked to nominate two male and two female field players, plus, one male and one female goalie. Local club water polo coaches have been asked to nominate as well.  This event is highly competitive as invitations were limited to 12 male field players, 12 female field players, 4 male goalies, and 4 female goalies for a total of only 32 athletes. You are one of only 32 nominated and/or invited athletes.

 

Bringing Tony, and Merrill's recruiting strategy, to Tulare County, is a phenomenally economic means to get local players maximum exposure to college programs.  By creating a local event that provides multiple college programs exposure to our athletes, we avoid travel, lodging, and meal costs of visiting multiple colleges in California and nationally. In addition to the live streaming video available to coaches, each player receives an edited version of a personal video showing their shooting drills and 3-on-3 tournament play. This can be shared with any college program of your choosing.
