Water polo pool tactics board

Hold the 3-3 in front of goal, add the extra man, press the outlet and drop into the 6-on-5. The 2 m and 6 m lines are on the pool.

World Aquatics 30×20 m, 2 m and 6 m lines. Arrange a 3-3, an extra-man attack and a 6-on-5 drop in the pool.

3-3 shape

Three players sit on the 2 m line and three play outside the 6 m. That front is the published 3-3.

Extra man

The extra-man diagram is the attack after an exclusion, with the spare player arriving from the perimeter.

Press and 6-on-5 drop

The press picks up the centre-forward pass on the full pool. The 6-on-5 drop is the defence sagging toward the 2 m when the other team has the extra man.

Ready diagrams

  • 3-3

    Six field players set up in two lines of three in front of goal, with two defenders and the goalkeeper. Use it as the base positions for an even-strength attack.

  • Extra man

    Six attackers face two defenders after an exclusion and the pass goes from the flat into the centre. Use it to move the ball quickly before the excluded player returns.

  • Press

    Three defenders press the attacker with the ball across the full pool, with one swimming to cut off the pass. Use it to force a turnover early in the possession.

  • 6 on 5

    Five defenders drop into an arc in front of their goal against three attackers. Use it while a player is excluded to protect the centre and block shots.
