More BOOT for your KAMP!

Das Boot-Kampf

This weekend (18th and 19th February) will see the most intensive underwater rugby event in the 40,000 year history of human settlement in Australia. This event will be modeled on the Swedish style UWR Camps and the North American UWR Clinics. We will focus on as many aspect of the game as possible, including how to look ~~good~~ ~~sexy~~ amazing while scoring goals and being tackled. And with over 9 hours of pool time squeezed into two days, you WILL be satisfied.

Updated details are on the Facebook event page but here are the basics:

Cost $55
Venue Saturday: Ruth Everuss Aquatic Centre (Auburn, nr Homebush) [5m diving pool]
Venue Sunday: Ashfield Aquatic Centre
Times: 10am – 5pm (recess and lunch breaks in between)

Please RSVP soon if you haven’t already.

Footy Show

We have been invited to do a TV shoot with the NRL Footy Show! Finally, the recognition we have been longing for! Basically they are doing a segment on sports that aren’t yet in the Olympics but should be. Their resident funny guy ‘Mario Fenech’ will be joining us in the water to experience UWR first hand.

So make sure you keep the evening of Tuesday 28th February free. We’ve tentatively locked in an after hours shoot at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre for 9pm!

Upcoming 6-week comp

More excitement to follow on the horizon in the form of a six week competition organized by Steph. You may even choose to call it the ‘Crittenden Cup’. This will be a prepaid comp where we are divided into 3-4 teams of six. Teams will play at least one match every Sunday for five weeks, with points carrying over, and the grand final on week 6. There might not be a big shiny trophy, but there will be plenty of honour and tough competition. We’ll reveal more details soon!

Self Evaluation

Don’t forget to check out some of the vids that have been put together from our last Wednesday session to do a bit of self-evaluation. The goalkeeping video is especially interesting.
