Water polo: pass lacks power

Passes from the arm only, with no lift from the legs or turn of the body, so they fall short.

Activities that help

• Lift, Cock and Release – Break shooting into three parts – lift the ball, draw it back behind the head, release towards the target – practised slowly before adding power.
• Long and Short Passing – Alternate short, quick passes with longer passes using leg lift and body rotation – learning to add power without losing control.
