Illpolo University's Mission
By Aaron Brown
Illpolo.com is proud to announce that we will be
covering the upcoming college season from start to finish throughout the
2014-2015 campaign. The coverage will be unique in that the focus will be
on tracking the performances of former Illinois high school water polo
players. See below for detailed info on the site's newest feature:
The Mission
To continue covering and showing support for former
Illinois high school water polo players who continue to play water polo at
the college level. To showcase that water polo is a viable option beyond
high school to current players and their parents.
The Specifics
Illpolo University will begin covering the boys'
college season in September until the season reaches its conclusion. It
will also cover the girls' season in the spring during the regular high
school season.
Features
Most updates will come in the form of links to online
articles and player bios on each school's web site. However, just like
during the high school season, we will be seeking out other player
performance information from various sources who will help contribute to
Illpolo University.
There may be additional features included as the season
progresses, such as player interviews, tournament coverage, etc.
Sponsors/Donations
As you can imagine, providing this additional coverage
will mean more time and more resources spent on a volunteer basis. Of
course, if you like the coverage and can afford to make a donation to keep
the site afloat so players can get the recognition they deserve, it is
greatly appreciated. Click the
donations
link for more information. Sponsorships may also be an option.
Stay Tuned
Look for additional updates as the college season
nears. We will also be updating the player lists for the new season and
showcasing 'The College Edition: Volume I' update within the next few
weeks.
Illpolo University depends on links and other updates that
are sent in by various sources. Please send information to
illpolostaff@gmail.com and we
will verify the information before posting.
