Great interviews with Leyson and Litvak. Litvak’s comment about many of the coaches having direct ties to USC and UCLA was interesting. Shows you how small of a pool that water polo is.
I will be rooting for all of the underdogs in this tournament.
Great interviews once again
Great interview with Tico after the game winner

That is awesome and great to see more teams participating 
Do we know the U18 teams?
Are they playing the same weekends as the seniors?
18u teams will be released in the next couple of weeks.
Yes, they will be playing same weekends/locations as men.
Awesome to see how many new teams there are but a bummer to see Channel Cats no longer participating! They were a fun team to watch.
Excited for a new NL season!
Is this a competitor to Futures League now for 18U? Also, anyone know if committed 18U’s and transfers can still play for clubs they are going to associated with Uni’s ?
The commissioner has worked with futures to ensure minimal to no conflict, which is great.
With regards to the 18u’s playing for college/club or 18u club, players are permitted to play for both, schedule permitting. Coaches will work together to do whats best for the player and situation.
Here we go, NL Groups and Spring Plan. We BACK!
ENJOY
Good to see you guys back.
I wonder if the Header for these posts should no longer reference the Men’s College Season? I actually found it confusing during the season to have two Men’s College categories. Even more so now that focus for spring seems to be on National League and youth programs. Will we see a focus on Women’s College Season, too?
Fair callout. Have changed the name of the thread til next fall!
Thanks! And will we see coverage of the women’s NCAA season? I sure hope so . . . .
Good morning and welcome to Week 1 of National League!
