With Thanksgiving break just around the corner, we have scheduled a date for our annual NA/Tiger Water Polo alumni game day:
Saturday, Nov. 30th
NA High School Pool
Warm Ups: 11 am
Game Time: 12 Noon
We invite alumni and masters players as well as current high school players – girls and boys. The more the merrier! It’s always a blast to bring everyone together for a reunion of sorts and a chance for some (who haven’t played in a while) to see if they still have what it takes! We look forward to seeing as many return players as possible for some water polo fun! If you’re a parent of a player, plan to watch the action. There’s no stress and the match ups are typically lively and quite fun to watch!
Thursday, 11/7: Chartiers Valley HS from 7:30-9pm with game prep with Michigan State. This is not a full scrimmage with them. If we have enough masters players we can scrimmage when they leave.
Main Line Division A League Dates: 1/26, 2/9, 2/23, 3/14 (Championship)
There will be two games played on each date. Schedule will be released as the other teams confirm. Please respond if you think you can make any of these dates.
Save the Date for our Renegade Annual Fun Run! Last year we had a lot of fun and even headed for Mexican and margaritas after. Get your free tickets at the link below. December 10th!

Results from the first day’s games at the DC Wetskins:
Renegades split. The first game was a loss to NOVA, 20 to 5. Pittsburgh scores the first three goals then down hill from there.
Second game, a win against one of the four of the Wetskins teams, 10 to 8 in a close game. Up by 5 goals at mid game. Wetskins came back but Pittsburgh holds on.
Before day two.
The Renegades lost its fourth game to Rockville in DC. Closer battle than the score as the first quarter ended with an even point cout. Then Rockville pulled ahead. Renegades came back with three unanswered goals, but the final was Rockville, 14 to Renegades, 8.
Rockville moved on to the Championship Game.
The Lady Referee took the worst of the battle. No red cards though. Both sides were confused. Bittersweet depending on if you wanted to get home early or later.
BIG THANKS to the players from Cleveland and the Hawks and Miland for filling out the squad.
