IWP To Host All-Star Games and Age Group Clinic

By Aaron Brown

Illinois Water Polo is sponsoring an Age Group Clinic and an All-Star Game on June 6, 2010 at Stevenson High School.

Athletes eligible to play in the game are the individuals selected to the All-State Teams. The all-star teams will be split evenly with 20 players on each team (depending on the number of athletes that can commit to play in the game).

The girls' warm-up begins at 12:00pm on Sunday and the game begins at approximately 12:45pm.

The boys' warm-up will take place immediately after the completion of the girls' game with an approximate game starting time slated for 2:15pm.

A reception of both players and parents will take place immediately following the boys' game.

The admission fee for entry to both games is $5. Full play-by-play coverage will also be provided by illpolo.com

The Age Group clinic will take place on Sunday, June 6 from 10:00am-12:00pm at Stevenson High School. Athletes in 8th grade & under are eligible to participate.

The cost of the clinic is $35 per athlete. This also includes entry into both all-star games following the clinic.
