Practice Structure
1. Swimming and conditioning
Practice starts off with optional swimming and conditioning. We typically swim around 1,ooo yards split up into sets of 25, 50, or 100-yard intervals. We also do treading drills like jumps, lunges, and wrestling to improve leg strength.
- We recommend a strong swimming background and ability to eggbeater to participate in practice
- You should be able to swim 100 yards at 1:30 pace.
- Swimming and conditioning lasts around 30 minutes.
2. Passing, shooting, and drills
We break up into small groups and pass the ball to warm up before moving into shooting drills.
- We recommend a strong swimming background and ability to eggbeater to participate in practice
- Passing and shooting lasts around 30 minutes.
3. Scrimmaging
We split up into 2 or 3 teams and run a controlled scrimmage with a referee, goalies, and line markers.
- We recommend that plays know the positions on offense, defense, and man up.
- You should be able to swim up and down the pool in succession, pass the ball, and understand basic gameplay.
- Scrimmaging lasts about an hour.
