Goalkeeper in any sport, and particularly in water polo, has one of the most important and most responsible roles in the team. There is truth in the old saying, perpetuated through the water polo circles that a good goalkeeper is worth "half of the team." Coach's technical and tactical ideas are imperatively based on the abilities of the goalkeeper, particularly in zone defense and some aspects of it (eg. partial zone and leaving a "weaker" player to shoot). The author is dedicating the book to water polo coaches of all categories. The work presented in the book can be used for all levels of coaching and training of the water polo players. Main focus was placed on specialty of goal keeping. The exercises were meticulously elaborated, richly illustrated and presented in original way by the author, reflecting his life long experience in water polo.
FROM THE AUTHOR: There is very little sports literature that talks in any detail specifically about water polo goalkeepers. In this book I have tried to present a short theoretical and practical demonstration of the goalkeeping technique. The most important exercises and drills are analytically described, logically ordered and accompanied by useful drawings and photographs. I believe this handbook will be a welcome tool in the work of coaches working across the range of age groups. Zoran Kacic, Author of Water Polo Goalkeeper.
Chuck Hines enjoyed a 40-year career with the YMCA, during which he was a strong advocate of the Olympic sport of water polo. He was a three-time All-America player, and he coached teams at three YMCAs that won national championships. His teams all started out at the beginning level, in small pools and with insufficient equipment, and fought their way to the top. This book is the story of those teams and their rags to riches achievements.
Water polo was the first team sport to be added to the program of the Olympic Games, in 1900.
