Congratulations to Sara Hudyn and Julie Szpara, who are participating in WPC's Golden Horseshoe National Performance Centre Posted: 20081024 October 14th, 2008 [Tuesday] - Golden Horseshoe National Performance Centre The Canadian Women's Water Program is pleased to announce the formation of the Golden Horseshoe of Ontario Performance Center beginning Saturday October 18th 2008. The objective of the Performance Centers are to introduce and lead the development of High Performance Water Polo players in their respective city and province by providing opportunities for talented regional and provincial level waterpolo players to achieve excellence in high performance sport from within their home environment. The performance center's curriculum has been made and will be communicated to the performance center coaches by the Womens Program Leader, Pat Oaten. The content of the performance center will directly relate to what is being taught at the Womens National Training Center in Montreal. The focus will be both offensive and defensive techniques with the eventual implementation of these techniques into tactics and real time play. Although not a focal point, fitness levels will be addressed, but it is expected that the clubs of these selected athletes have addressed this issue. The co-coaches of the Central Ontario Performance Center will be Ross Macdonald and Jennifer Doto. Both coaches bring immediate credibility and professionalism to the centre. Ross brings a wealth of national and international experience as he has coached both the men's and women's national teams and was a coach for the 2003 Canadian Junior Women World Championship Gold Medal winning team. Jennifer is a long time OUA and OWP all-star. Athletes were selected by there performance with the summer 2008 Team Ontario program, the Ontario Summer Games and/or their performance during the OWP festival.
