South Florida International Tournament To Webcast Games Live

FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida, February 15. IN six short years, the South Florida International Water Polo Tournament has become one of the most prestigious age group tournaments in North America, and this year a total of 42 games will be webcast live via the Internet, on a pay per view basis.

The games will be webcast live on the Internet at www.pennatlantic.com/sfintl.

The cost per game view is $5.50 per game or $35 dollars for a day pass.

"This is an historic first for water polo and we hope that the water polo community around the world will test out our product," says Bruce Wigo, CEO of the International Swimming Hall of Fame, a co-sponsor of the event. "In partnership with the Coral Springs Aquatic Complex and Penn Atlantic, this gives the parents and friends of the players and the sport to see high level age group water polo and if there is enough support, something to promote water polo at every level."

In addition to the games, there will be interviews with coaches and players from around the country during intermissions.

This year's tournament has 54 teams, representing seven countries, competing in 3 divisions: 19 and under for girls and boys, and 16 and under boys. International teams participating include: Israel, Hungary, Slovenia, Russia, Canada and Puerto Rico. California has the most entries, with 20 teams coming from the Golden State.

The national team of Israel is the defending champion in the older division for boys, while the club "Shtrum," of Moscow, Russia defends their title in the younger boys age group. The local team from the host club South Florida is favored to win the girls division.

The tournament, which is hosted by the South Florida Water Polo Club of Fort Lauderdale and the Coral Springs Aquatic Complex, runs Friday, February 15, through Sunday, February 17.
