Making Quick Decisions with the Ball - Moving the Ball Series - Part 4

Part 4 of our four part series on Moving the Ball covers 'Making Quick Decisions.' This video caps off a great series covering how to move the ball around the perimeter quickly and effectively. Making quick decisions with the ball is vital to a potent offensive attack. This video outlines a step by step approach to help students make better and faster decisions. It will also assist young players in thinking through the game.

I'm just starting water polo this year, with no previous knowledge of the game. These videos help me a lot!

3:19 why not pass directly to the wing?

[@ShaquaticsNet]

You absolutely could go down directly to the wing if you had a clear passing lane. I like where your heads at, it shows you're thinking through the game.

It’s a credit to you as well that you’re willing to search out techniques and put in the work to try them out. Keep it up!

My team is fairly new to water polo. The team started 2 years ago and we play 1 season a year. My team moves a minimal amount on offense. I play point and I don't know what to do. I usually resort to having to toss to hole. Should I do something different? Also when I defend hole how should I be positioned?

[@ShaquaticsNet]

Setting the ball into 2M from the point is better than not getting in it at all but ideally you'd want the ball entered from the sides, that's usually where the better angles are to set the ball. I would use the point as a last resort not a first option. If your team would watch our series they might be able to get open for the ball more easily and be able to help you out. As for defending 2M that is a whole other video series that needs to be done, it's too much to get into right here. Hope that helps.
