FAQ
1. Tournaments
We will attend several tournaments and scrimmages in addition to the Bay Area Winter Gauntlet (BAWG). These will include:
- Occasional scrimmages in the Bay Area
- Single day tournaments on the weekends in either Santa Cruz or at West Valley
2. How will you select teams?
The BAWG players in 18u and 16u will be taken primarily from the 4x and 3x players and according to availability.
3. I'm a HS boy, and I'm confused by the schedule, number of teams, all of it. What's going on?
We are trying to accommodate the busy lives of our players, so they can choose how many times a week. We are also trying to accommodate location as the traffic in the Bay Area stinks. We like you will have to choose the days and locations and stick to it, so we can balance the coaches. On Fridays and Sundays, all HS boys will practice together. If you are 3x, the preferred choice of day will be Sunday due to pool space at LGHS.
6. What should I expect for playing time?
This is a very important expectation to set. At the 14/16/18 age, we are trying to dial in what might be a JO team. We will enter as many teams into tournaments as we can, so players can get playing time in games.
9. What is Swim Clinic?
Swim clinic is like a swim team, but no meets. Technique is the focus of our coaches in swim clinic.
10. What if I don't like it or get injured, can I get a refund?
Before the start of week 2, we will return your money save a $50 processing fee
Before the start of week 3, we will refund 50% of your dues and all of JO money (if summer season)
Before the start of week 4, we will refund 25% of your dues and 1/2 of the JO money (if summer season)
After the start of week, no refunds
