5.0 out of 5 stars It is the best book on the tactics of water polo, March 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: United States Tactical Water Polo (Paperback)

This book is the benchmark that all other books dealing with the subject of water polo tactics will be based on. It is 350+ pages of indepth analyses of Defence, Counter Attack, and Front Court Offence. It also offers great coaching tips and drills to practice. Each play format includes detailed diagrams and pictures to illustrate everything from the basics to advanced skills. Although this book covers basic skills, it is focused towards knowledgeble players and coaches, yet it is so well-explained that a first-time coach or player should not have any trouble figuring out the various tactical situations or plays. Because this book covers the subject of water polo tactics in such great depth and explains each detail clearly, it truely is the bible of water polo tactics.
