How to play offensive 2 meter better(water polo)?
Hi, im playing on JV waterpolo team and im freshman atm. Im a big guy, 6 foot at 185 pounds and im pretty well conditioned but i need to get much more endurance.
Anyways, they have me playing 2 meter alot, both offense and defense. on defense I do very well with the exeption of shot blocking when nessicary (fixable easily) However, im struggling with offense, i get to my position and am fronted, i usually turn around within 5-12 seconds then this guy just sits on my shoulders and i go under, or i stay up and when i get the ball thrown to me wet, i cant get to it fast enough because 2m man is holding me in place. Any advice would be great help, especially something i can practice outside of water polo practice. at home or in my pool. Thanks!
The specific move you need my friend is exactly what i needed in high school but never learned until i had already graduated. I only know it as the “shrug”. but the technical term is stepping out toward the ball. here is the step by step on how to do this.
1. Start by treading back your opponent with your back facing toward him. whether he is (fronting you or playing in back of you. it does not matter.
2. you want to lean back and transfer all your energy from your body to him and snap to the ball once it is set. but don’t snap with your head because that is an offensive snap with the 185 pounds of body weight that you have and transfer it to your opponent while your backing him up.
3. Once you have snapped to the ball your 2m defender should be off your back and off balance allowing for an easy shot. (sweep, backhand, or lay out) or an easy pass to your open man.
4. If you can not snap to the ball and you are being held back. show the referee this by making over exaggerated movements that you are trying to go toward the ball but he is holding you back. a side note on this if he is fronting you and this happens while you are facing he goal with him behind you and the ball is set in front of you it will either be a 5 meter or an ejection.
you can always practice this snap in your pool. to do this, tread backward chest high. then move toward an imaginary ball in front of you. The faster you practice this move toward the ball the faster you will be able to do it in a game or in practice.

Water polo rules question!!!!?
i am a really good swimmer and have a good arm and have been playing on Stanford Womens Water Polo Club for about a month now. Could someone please tell me what would be considered a foul and what kind of physical contact is ok. Defense and Offense. Like how much can you grab their shoulder, or what is ok and not.
Thanks!!
water polo is a very vicious game. you can do almost every thing except get them in the privates or punch them.
heres what cna cause a foul.
Fouls
If an offensive player, such as the hole set (center forward), has possession of the ball in front of the goal, the defensive player tries to steal the ball or keep the center from shooting or passing. If the defender cannot, he may intentionally commit a foul. The hole set then has a free throw but must pass the ball off to another offensive player, rather than making a shot at the goal. Defensive perimeter players may also intentionally cause a minor foul and then move toward the goal, away from their attacker, who must take a free throw. This technique, called sloughing, allows the defense an opportunity to double-team the hole set and possibly steal the inbound pass. The referee may refrain from declaring a foul, if in his judgment this would give the advantage to the offender’s team. This is known as the Advantage Rule.[5]
Minor fouls (ordinary fouls) occur when a player impedes or otherwise prevents the free movement of an opponent who is not holding the ball, including swimming on the opponent’s shoulders, back or legs. The most common is when a player reaches over the shoulder of an opponent in order to knock the ball away while in the process hindering the opponent. Offensive players may be called for a foul by pushing off a defender to provide space for a pass or shot. The referee indicates the foul with one short whistle blow and points one hand to the spot of the foul and the other hand in the direction of the attacking team, who retain possession. The attacker must make a free pass without undue delay to another offensive player. If the foul has been committed outside the 5-meter line, the offensive player may also attempt a direct shot on goal, but the shot must be taken immediately and in one continuous motion. Because of this rule the hole set will often set up at or beyond the five meter mark hoping to get a foul, shoot, and score. If the offensive player fakes a shot and then shoots the ball, it is considered a turnover. If the same defender repetitively makes minor fouls, referees will exclude that player for 20 seconds. To avoid an ejection, the hole defender may foul twice, and then have a wing defender switch with him so that the defense can continue to foul the hole man without provoking an exclusion foul. The rule was altered to allow repeated fouls without exclusions, but is often still enforced by referees.
Major fouls (exclusion fouls) are committed when the defensive player pulls the offensive player away from the ball before the offensive player has had a chance to take possession of the ball. This includes dunking (sinking in FINA rules), intentional splashing, pulling back, swimming on the other player’s back, or otherwise preventing the offensive player from preserving his advantage. A referee signals a major foul by two short whistle bursts and indicates that the player must leave the field of play and move to the penalty area for twenty seconds. The referee will first point to the player who commits the foul and will blow the whistle. then they will point to the ejection corner and blow the whistle again. The player must move to the penalty area without impacting the natural game play. If the player does not leave the field of play, the player will be kicked out for the remaining time of the game with substitution. The remaining five defenders, to cover the six attackers on a man up situation, usually set up in a zone defense in front of their goal. The attacking team can expect to score, by adopting a 4-2 or 3-3 formation, and moving the goalkeeper out of position. A player that has been ejected three times must sit out the whole match with substitution, much like the six personal fouls in basketball.
A misconduct foul is an unsportsmanlike act. For unacceptable language, violent or persistent fouls, taking part in the game after being excluded or showing disrespect, a player is ejected for the remainder of the game with substitution after 20 seconds have elapsed. This type of foul is often called a roll because the referee signals the foul by rolling his hands around one another. If a player commits a violent foul with intention to harm, the player is ejected from the game without substitution. The opponents are awarded a penalty shot, and the ejected player’s team plays one man down for the next four minutes of game time. This type of foul is called a brutality and is signaled by the referee by crossing the arms in the form of an X.
A penalty shot is awarded when a major foul is committed inside the 5-meter line and the offensive player had an opportunity to score, or a goal was prevented by the foul. This usually means that the offensive player is in front of and facing the goal. The penalty shot is attempted from 5 meters. Any defenders flanking the player taking the shot must be no closer than 2 meters. The goalkeeper must be on the goal line. In high school rules, the goalie must keep their hips even with the goal line. They are allowed to lean their upper body over in order to kick up higher. The referee blows the whistle and the player must shoot immediately.
Drawing the ejection (forcing defense to commit a major foul) occurs when an offensive player takes advantage of a defensive player by using body position and/or grabbing on their wrists to make it appear as though the defensive player is committing a “major foul”, therefore resulting in the ejection of that player and gaining a 6 on 5 advantage. Another common way to draw an ejection is by staggering stroke while being chased to make it appear as though the defensive player is pulling the swimmer back.
