Things You'll Need:
- Water Polo Balls
- Water polo balls
-
Step 1
Swim hard freestyle, head high, to a position in which your shooting arm is free of the defense.
-
Step 2
Drop your hips quickly to a vertical position and eggbeater yourself high in the water.
-
Step 3
Raise your shooting arm out of the water to make a target for your passer to throw to. Call out if the passer doesn't see that you're open for the pass.
-
Step 4
Catch the ball and let the force of the pass and the weight of the ball carry your arm back into a cocked throwing position.
-
Step 5
Shoot the ball immediately, before you sink back down in the water. Shoot from the shoulder and aim for a corner of the goal. Upper corners are best.
-
Step 6
Follow through with your shot and immediately continue swimming after the ball. A blocked shot will often return to your area so be ready for a second shot.
