Only in Coronado . . .

I took this photo in front of a house on Coronado. Coronado ('Nado if you're ) really cool) takes its water polo very seriously. Four players from the high school are on the National team.

I'm conflicted about the signs (perhaps a wee bit braggy and self-congratulatory?), but you sure can't argue with the success of their program.

National team? I'd brag too!

I love "Nado". Although I cringe everytime I drive over the bridge.

I think it's no worse than people flying team flags on flag poles (can you tell I'm sick of the Packers already this year?).

it's a cult. they're all over. you can't question it or they'll eat your brains and put signs on your lawn. it's like maine lobster. it's not bragging, it just is.

I can dig it - as long as it isn't the size of their garage. Is it?

I think it just shows how much support the family gives him, which is what a child needs to succeed. Your family is the same way, but you're just projecting your fear of people thinking you would be branded braggy and self-congratulatory.

I've really had too much therapy.

I would be a little embarrassed about signage but it is quite a feat!

My baby brother plays h2o polo at UCSB.

You're right... that's one sport where they don't mess around.
They take it very seriously.

Wait - 4 on the national team? Did they get a ticker tape parade? Because, yeah, cheering on Youth is very cool.

It looks like a small-ish sign... big enough to brag on how proud you are of your kid, small enough to not be obnoxious.

In my hometown, there are huge signs covering the front doors of all the high school football players. That h2o polo sign is tres classy and small in comparison. Trust me. I vote community pride, not psycho. :)
