Introduction Introduction The ASA Water Polo Coach Development Programme 2011-12 is the first step into the implementation of a Nationwide discharge of unity in thoughts of the delivery of training to England/GB Water Polo Players at all stages of the LTAD Model. Continuing on the work Spencer Moore (Head of Workforce Development), Csaba Rull, Nick Hume (NT Coaches and technical programme writers) and Norman Leighton (Talent Development Officer) have done for England/GB Water Polo development so far, Coachcoaches&training has been asked by Nick Sellwood (Head of Talent Development) to fulfil the next step; Pipe-line all segments of the Junior Water Polo Programmes (National Team to RTC’s to Clubs). The contents of the course will be focussed the LTAD approach, with the main focus on Effective Coaching Strategies, basic technique (skill!) and basic tactical development; as these are the foundation for athlete development and thus team success. During the pre-interviews and first 2 weekends of co-operation with all National Team and RTC Coaches, I discovered the Eng/GB Water Polo Ambition: . “It is ASA’s ambition to create the world’s best Player Pathway for Water Polo Players”. (David Sparkes 2009) To be able to reach this ambition Coachcoaches&training has investigated the starting environment in order to present the Objective for the project: After 6 weekends of Coach the coach activities at least 80% of the NT and RTC coaches should be able to have unification in: - knowledge (Effective Coaching Strategies); - Basic Techniques and Tactics; - The training contents role of the coach. I would like to thank you for your commitment to our sport and for your attendance at this course. I am very excited about what this will mean for our sport in general as well as for you as a coach in specific.

While this is true, it originated as a far more violent sport with even harder obstacles. The sport’s origins come from northern Europe, specifically the British Isles. Water polo originated as a type of rugby that was played under the water with violence, injuries, and near-drownings as part of the game. The Scots then developed more civilized rules and developed the concept of passing the ball above water while submerging the ball was considered illegal. The sport grew in popularity and spread all across Europe. The Hungarians then took up the sport and developed much of it to the way we play today. They developed the dry pass, meaning that the ball was to never touch the water; this revolutionized the sport and allowed the Hungarians to establish a water polo dynasty. ater polo is one of the oldest Olympic sports. It was included in the 1900 Olympic Games. WOne of the most violent games in history was the 1956 Gold Medal Match between the USSR and Hungary.

  • Canoe Polo About the Game
    CANOE POLO ABOUT THE GAME INTRODUCTION Five players per team play a game similar to water polo, with a few minor alterations. Each of the 5-aside team, (plus subs) are in kayaks, and the goals are suspended in the air. Canoe polo is similar to basketball in that it is based on possession, passing, blocking, and scoring, though with the addition of tackling under tightly prescribed rules. A team game for all ages where skills will dominate strength, that is extremely safe due to protective equipment, the indoor pool environment, and close adult supervision. GEAR One kayak, one double-bladed paddle, one helmet with facemask, a spray deck and a buoyancy vest. (All provided by WCPA) SOME OF THE RULES NUMBER OF PLAYERS Each team may consist of a maximum of eight (8) players for any one game. No more than five (5) players are permitted on the playing area at any one time. Any other players at that moment are to be considered as substitutes. A team must begin each game with five (5) players, ready to start on or behind their own goal line. If a team is reduced to two (2) ​ ​ players at any time the referee shall end the game. PLAYING TIME Playing time shall be two (2) periods each of eight (8) - ten (10) minutes. The half time interval will be two (2) minutes. The teams shall change ends at half time. START OF GAME At the beginning of each game, five (5) players will line up ready to start, stationary and with some part of their kayaks on or behind their own goal line.

  • Water Polo Team to Competitive Level: Chapter 1 Page 1 of 1
    Taking a Young Inexperienced Water Polo Team to Competitive Level: Chapter 1 Page 1 of 1 WATER POLO Learning and Teaching the Basics CHAPTER ONE Taking a Young Inexperienced Monte Nitzkowski Water Polo Team to Competitive Level I'm often asked, "Coach, what's the quickest way to become competitive in this sport? We have a new program with young players, and we're getting clobbered." There are four basic axioms which must be followed if you wish to make young teams quickly competitive: CONDITIONING : Get your players into top physical condition. This is the easiest of the four axioms to achieve. Most of the athletes probably have a swimming background and are already in pretty good shape. Hit them hard with a conditioning program which features considerable basic swim training, a lot of ball conditioning and conditioning for quickness. You might not get them in better shape than your opponents, but "equal shape" is good enough. BALLHANDLING: Spend a lot of time on ballhandling. All players need to continue to develop their ballhandling skills—for young players it's a must. Passing is the name of the game. If a player can't pick up the ball and pass it accurately, his/her team will be in constant trouble. Ball control is essential and without it, success is impossible to achieve. Along with basic ballhandling skills, at the earliest stage of development, young players must be taught how to draw a foul. Most often, opponents will press against inexperienced teams. If players can't draw a foul and pass from the free throw, they will find it extremely difficult to move the ball into scoring position.

It is Web-pub- lished by the LA84 Foundation under a license from the author. Printed in the USA 2 Acknowledgements This book would not have been completed and had its particular attention to detail without the help and support of the following individuals. First I’d like to thank Mr. Lundy Smith, an English teacher and head Girls Water Polo Coach at Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire. Lundy was most helpful in points of emphasis and grammatical structure in the book. I’d also like to thank Roger Nekton from Phillips Exeter. Roger just retired as head boys water polo and swimming coach after a long and very distinguished career of over thirty years at the Academy. Roger provided valuable technical input as well as encouragement regarding the need for written material in the sport of water polo. As a picture is worth a thousand words, I’m very indebted to Mrs. Chris Kittredge of CMK Enterprises (www.tudorgraphics.com). Chris was able to capture some of the more difficult team aspects of the game only because of her dedication, extensive knowledge of over twenty years with the sport and her brilliance as a photographer. Matt Brown (www.mattbrownphoto.com) is another photographer who exhibited a tremendous amount of alacrity in his water polo photos.

  • Hockey Substitute Goalkeeper Guidelines
    RETURN TO HOCKEY SUBSTITUTE GOALKEEPER GUIDELINES As a result of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Teams are not able to access affiliate players during the 2020-2021 season. The following guidelines have been established to provide direction to teams on how to manage a situation when their registered goalie(s) are unavailable. Within the Divisions of Senior and Junior, as well as the AAA and AA categories of U18, U16, U15 and U13 the following process(es) will be in place: • When a team only has one goaltender available for a scheduled League game and is seeking access to a back-up goaltender: 1. Teams should consult with each other to determine whether or not the opposing Team will have a properly registered back-up goaltender available. If so, that goaltender should be used as a Substitute should either Team’s goaltender become injured or ill; or 2. If each Team only has 1 properly registered goaltender available for a game, Teams have the ability to apply for access to a Substitute Goalkeeper through the normal application process outlined within the Regulations. ▪ Only one Substitute Goaltender will be considered for a pair/ group of Teams within a ‘Competition Cohort’; ▪ If approved, the Team(s) must ensure that all protocols for using a Substitute Goalkeeper (as outlined below) are adhered to; 3. Or, If an eligible Substitute Goalkeeper is not able to be found or approved, and a goaltender becomes injured or ill, Teams have the ability to dress a player or play the remainder of the game with 6 skaters (as per the Hockey Canada Playing Rules).
