Ben Polo - first goal of career

Ben was playing water polo splash ball for the last couple seasons. It's just for 10 and under's to get familiar with polo, the ball, swimming, etc.

Now (age 10) he's joined the Carlsbad polo club team and playing on 12U white 2.  Played in firest couple tournaments in January, and started getting bummed that he hasn't scored a goal yet.

Dan took him to tournament in OC at Costa Mesa.  Grandma/pa Hanan were there to watch as well.
B SCORED!  FIRST GOAL OF CAREER!

Other team scored, so we were starting the ball at half pool. Pass back to teammate, and over to Ben at the side of the pool, "3 strokes in from half" as he recalls.  Draws a foul, and (with his free pass) lobs a shot up from near mid-pool and over the goalie to the opposite left/back corner.  YA BABY!

Next tournament (the next weekend), he scored from 2m hole set.
