For AquaTex Families
Check the entry deadline for this event and then "Attend/Decline" or "Edit Commitment."
We very gladly have a lot of new athletes attending this tournament. Welcome to all of you, and of course to all our experienced families as well. Here are a few things to cover for newcomers and oldsters alike:
- Always plan on being ready to meet together one hour before our first game of the day. That is an AquaTex policy. Please schedule your time accordingly. For any following games on the same day plan on meeting 40 minutes before game time.
- Wear your team suit and t-shirt every game and each day of the tournament.
- Expect three games per day even if we only end up playing two. That means, be prepared: extra towel, goggles for warmup, eye drops, snacks, water, an extra suit is always a good idea. Be ready.
- Food. Between games we encourage our athletes to eat lean protein, fruit, simple carbohydrates (not just candy!), water. After our last game of the day you can eat what you want... within reason.
- AquaTex doesn't organize team hotels or meals but definitely appreciates parents who take the lead in finding hotel blocks to share and/or organizing team meals. That is mostly done via our GroupMe so please do communicate amongst each other there.

Partenza Partita! 2022 AQTX/Longhorn December Game Day
Copied from our October Game Day, except that this one is a farewell to Stefano who will be returning to Italy in a couple weeks and missing out on the Cowtown Stampede. Tentative schedule below.
***
A few notes about Sunday’s game day since there have been questions.
- If you have not signed up for the event using TeamUnify, and you are currently registered with AquaTex, just show up if you want to play. We are trying to get everyone accustomed to using TeamUnify to indicate their commitment to events but there’s some wiggle room for our game day
- The start times are tentative though we are going to try to stick to them within reason. It is possible, for example, that we’ll combine 12u and 14u in to one game depending on our numbers
- High school athletes:
- come early to run the clocks, which we will do for each game (6 minute quarters)
- those currently registered (not suspended) with AquaTex or Longhorn can participate
- Games will be refereed by coaches
- The game day takes the place of practice in case you wondered. There will be no training on Sunday, just games.
***
AquaTex members, indicate your intent to play via your TeamUnify portal.
We’ll be hosting a game day with our friends from Longhorn including high school and age group athletes (we hope to have enough for a 10u game as well).
We will attempt to create games with AquaTex vs. Longhorn but will adjust as necessary depending on the turnout.
The tentative schedule is:
9:00 AM pool open for warmup
9:30 AM 12u Coed Game
10:15 AM 14u Coed Game (High School girls should expect to play at this time)
11:00 High School Game
noon Masters Game
Masters athletes who are not AquaTex members will pay the usual $10 walk-in fee.

For our Athletes & Families
Tournament Expectations
We very gladly have a lot of new athletes attending this tournament. Welcome to all of you, and of course to all our experienced families as well. Here are a few things to cover for newcomers and oldsters alike:
- Always plan on being ready to meet together one hour before our first game of the day. That is an AquaTex policy. Please schedule your time accordingly. For any following games on the same day plan on meeting 40 minutes before game time but it is at coaches’ discretion.
- Athletes, wear your team suit every game of the tournament, and your team t-shirt on Saturday at least. And, of course, we encourage our families to don the black, orange, and blue while attending.
- Expect three games per day even if we only end up playing two. That means, be prepared: extra towel, goggles for warmup, eye drops, snacks, water, an extra suit is always a good idea. Be ready.
- Food. Between games we encourage our athletes to eat lean protein, fruit, simple carbohydrates (not just candy!), water. After our last game of the day you can eat what you want… within reason.
- AquaTex doesn’t organize team hotels or meals but definitely appreciates parents who take the lead in finding hotel blocks to share and/or organizing team meals. That is mostly done via our GroupMe so please do communicate amongst each other there.
- We expect all our athletes to work hard, to be their best, when we compete. Winning and losing are important but not nearly as much as effort, being the best you can be, being there for your teammates, communicating, executing the skills you learned at practice. That’s what we as a club and your coaches expect.
Athlete Fees
Each athlete will pay for participating in this tournament payable directly to Coach James via Venmo. Fees are nearly always estimated to be approximately $95 per athlete per roster. The final fee will be calculated after the tournament and takes in to account tournament entry fees, coaches’ travel expenses, per diem, etc.
