Training for the 2008 CRFlamengo Water Polo season will begin on February 11. The year will be demanding and exhausting for the athletes, who will face their first challenges starting in April, with the Brazilian Junior Championship.

The call-up was made by Flamengo's trio of coaches. Antonio Canetti, Paulo Licastro, and Solon dos Santos believe the players' presence on the first day of training will be crucial for teams in all categories to gain rhythm and physical fitness as quickly as possible.

It is worth remembering that Flamengo has six athletes on the Brazilian women's team, which is training for the Pre-Olympics, next month, in Imperia, Italy.

The red-blacks that make up the select group are in training until the 31st, in the pool at Esporte Clube Pinheiros, in São Paulo.
