Water polo basics: set offense

Basic lessons covering the set offense. Great for spectators or new players to learn the basics. Includes setting the hole, driving, RB, strong-side drives, weak-side drives, rotations, and picks.

@mrjeb7 I think he had it right. The way i allways learned it was that 1 and 2 was the strong side for righties and 4 and 5 were strong for lefties or just weekside where you put your better defenders. Thats odd how somewhere along the line there was a split in how people denotate the numbers.

My coach likes to use a small whiteboard with smiley magnets.:)

[@markeymalarkey7614]

cool

[@just.emilly9726]

Wow twelve years how are you?

[@aftertake]

When you drive in, wouldn't it help if the hole moves his defender a little over to the opposite side of you. So that you have more space to shoot the ball and less defenders on you.

[@VelCroBomB20]

yes

[@M33teater]

who else was told to look at this from there coach!

[@Thijmman]

Very helpfull

Can someone reexplain to me what a 4-2 is? i don't quite understand. Thank you! :D

[@virp9632]

It’s when sm1 gets ejected and 4 2 is the set up. So you have 4 ppl on the 2 meter line and 2 people on the 5 meter line

What's a counter attack in water polo? I've recently just started playing and my coach uses the term often.

[@thatkalikid]

+TopDawg A counter attack is the the transition from defense to offense. It's using speed to take advantage of the other teams turnover to get a quick goal before everyone on the opposing team can adjust defensively. Good luck!

[@Petroxeilosrules]

also during a drive the ball never goes to the 2m player because the defender of the guy doing the drive will steal the ball....the ball goes to number 1 or 5 depending on the player's(who takes the drive) side...

[@MirandaJChase11]

anyone know what programme was used to make this?? it would really come in handy for the under14 team i coach

[@Kuwaiti1990]

This turned 12 yesterday

[@kittymime]

@brandonfresno i play football and i am a medium build should i play water polo im strong and have good endurance but i dont know what to expect

[@Petroxeilosrules]

the counting starts from the right not from the left...the pick is wrong ....the guy in the five position stays where he is and takes the shot he doesnt go in front of the goal..

[@M33teater]

the pool is normally 2 meters deep and 25 in length i don't know the width

[@wolfie1213]

it wads boring but good

[@RasaBrajiciMireBosko]

well firs of all that is not true
the 2m line mens: U cant go in there and catch the ball when that happens the ball is given to the def
