im so glad i started to play this sport. i don't care about speedos they feel so good when you put them on. i feel free. i just had a tourney today and i have another one tomorrow.

lol funny how im in freshman waterpolo and im the only one on my hs team that can do a backhand skipshot. amazing

this really help for my polo shirts!!! :-)

Even though your hand is going to end up on top of the ball, your focus should be to take your forearm/wrist to the spot on the ball nearest to you. And you should clear the ball from the water by rotating your arm (90 degrees) until your elbow is parallel to the surface. Then lead with your elbow back, the path of the shot right above the water's surface.

this is some great video quality..

...as seen at the 23 second mark. Notice how his arm is bent when he snaps sideways to the ball at the 45 second mark. This is extremely important. This is much faster and more powerful than a straight arm grab.

When you snap out to the ball THINK of taking your your upper forearm on the front of the ball NOT your hand to the top. This will help keep your weight off the top of the ball and your arm bent so you can lead back with the elbow.

Damn fine tutorial

Don't worry about how u look in a speedo. If you can swim well, good chance you have a swimmer's build. When I was in HS, we rarely had a swimming team because no guy wanted to wear speedos. I tried to learn to swim, but swimming lessons in Canada were a luxury, very expensive. Whatever I learned was on my own. But I know I don't have the skills to play on a water polo team. I'm looking into private swimming lessons.

back hands are low percentage shots for most levels. yeah they look cool, but i'm so much happier when my team just legs up and delivers an accurate shot. and i know that its meant for set but still rather have him roll out and take the sweep.

wow fast i kinda do it with spins cuz it gives it more power, but in the game when someone is playing with you its better to do it that way when u wanna pass or somethin like that

a good back standing won't let this happen what ever it cost ;)

thats cool

the one who will make tha backhand shoot is the forward you will be the backstanding so you can see that it is very fast to block it so taking a move backward in the same second he take it to get the ball will be the proper move the referee will make it a foul for the backstanding (YOU) then its your turn to attack , you don't have to shoot it now

how do you know where the cage is, where the goalie is set, etc, if you never look back before the shot?

my bro is 12 and he doest it almoast perfectly :D

this is the only shot you do pick the ball on top, other wise you'll have no control of the ball and this is a shot meant from hole, so if you dont have control your going to get crashed on

@brettskiOC or if we are partizan belgrade one of the best waterpolo team, most of partizan players play in serbian national team, greetings

You know where the cage is cuz when you look at opposite side of the pool you see the other cage so you know where the cage is bhind you because it is parallel other side

@guizzopber with the exception of backhand. cant do it without meathooking it.

ES TA CHIDO

o melhor

It looks like the camera got owned at the end

@Guizzopber yeah like 20 50's hah!

and by the way when you take your move forward i take it backward so it looks like you pushed me back to get the ball and will be a foul on you and believe me it works :D

noo i am not the one who will shoot the ball , i am talking about blocking it ,so i will draw a foul so that the backhand shoot won't be done , i understand you now :) i am the one who defend this backhand not shooting it

yo guy in da nederlands we dont have water polo guy we have counterstrike and skateboarding

My aunt has gonnereah. And she doesnt play water polo.

i always spin

this isnt where i parked my car i think larry stole it

cupping the ball is for ams. you have absolutely no control of the ball and a good goalie will eat your shot. a good backhand is done when absolutely nessesary and when your defense is on the wrong side to block the arm.

i see a fuzzy screen

@9waterpolo9 ha ha

he should have added to get up when you shoot or else you might get drag on the water and your hand will angle down. making yourself look like a noob

ako si im rekao, you suck!! hello from Serbia :)

can''t see shit!
