Water Polo teams head to Carifta

by

20140501

This coun­try's ju­nior wa­ter po­lo ath­letes will go af­ter the gold medals when they com­pete in the Carif­ta Un­der-16 and 19 & Un­der boys' com­pe­ti­tions in Willem­stad, Cu­ra­cao from to­day un­til Sun­day.

The teams have been prepar­ing for their en­gage­ment since Feb­ru­ary un­der the watch­ful eye of coach Alan Too-a-Foo and his as­sis­tant Daniel Al­varez, him­self a cur­rent na­tion­al se­nior men's play­er and both men be­lieve that there is enough tal­ent in both squads to do well in Willem­stad.

For Too-a-Foo, it is all or noth­ing and his train­ing reg­i­men re­flects this as the teams train both morn­ing and evening at the Mar­lins Swim­ming Pool, Morne Co­co Road, West­moor­ings and were con­di­tioned with on­ly vic­to­ry in mind.

In Cu­ra­cao, T&T will do bat­tle with Ba­hamas, Bar­ba­dos and host Cu­ra­cao.

Since the in­cep­tion of the carif­ta com­pe­ti­tion, T&T has emerged as a pow­er­house in re­gion­al age-group wa­ter po­lo and have played at a world lev­el.

Two years ago, T&T was rep­re­sent­ed by our 18 and Un­der team at the FI­NA World Cham­pi­onship held in Perth, Aus­tralia and this year's 19 & Un­der team will com­prise six mem­bers of that team com­pet­ed back then in Jo­hann Cal­len­der, Kieron Em­manuel, Se­bas­t­ian van Reeken, Jonathan Gillette Adri­an Hinds and Justin Bod­den.

Those ac­com­plish­ments were built on the back of that great 2008 Carif­ta cam­paign and Too-a-Foo and Al­varez who were coach and play­er then, will sit side by side in Cu­ra­cao push­ing the teams on, do­ing it all over again.
