Can water polo be taught/coached in a 1on1 (private) setting.

Question

Water polo is a team sport. Is coaching a single athlete effective or even possible?

Answer 1

The answer is YES!. During my 20+ years coaching water polo teams at various levels, I've created a progressive learning program that focuses on the individual skill development necessary to become a successful water polo player. This includes instruction in fundamentals for ball handling, passing, and shooting; as well as position specific individual defensive and offensive tactics. These skill drills can be taught and practiced individually in a regulation size pool or in a small back-yard pool. I have all of the necessary training aids, including portable water polo goals that can be used in virtually any pool.
