As time passed, people started moving to other places for jobs, getting families, training went down, we lost our pool (due to years of underset maintenance) for about a year and a half, losing the Champions Cup, the National championship, and Felix Cup. During those years we, to my memory alone lost 4-5 beginners of ages 12-25 that would potentially have become really good. That is something that many of us deeply regret today.
The Current has been operating for one and a half years. The first training was held in May 2019, two of us tested the fresh purchase of UWR balls. Since then the club has grown a lot, as of now we have 6 players licensed by the federation and 23 on the entry list of the National Swimming Complex.
Let me remind you, that most training guides assume a full team training at regular times in a proper diving pool, with a coach on the surface. Furthermore, they assume that all individuals within the team coached share the same goals such as being champions. But few teams start like that.
UWR Committee got elected too.

Coming in late Friday we just slept in the car right by the pool. If you visit tournaments regularly, you probably know how chaotic things look in the morning when all players are gathering around at the meeting of the team leaders eager to learn who and when they play against. Well, we woke to nothing like that.
I think I know quite much about rugby teams, but I never really had an idea, what a coach does. Something I needed myself, something I needed to do myself.
