Shooting improving of HaBaWaBa players: a clinic by Ildiko Szedlmayer

Watch the lesson that the Hungarian coach specialized in kids waterpolo gave at the last International Festival

HaBaWaBa is not only for kids growing and sharing, but also gives waterpolo coaches the chance to debate and improve. The clinic held by Ildiko Szedlmayer about training the shooting skills of little waterpolo players of HaBaWaBa age was an highlight of the last HaBaWaBa International Festival. That was an important contribution by one of the world's most knowledgeable coaches on grassroots waterpolo, who is now part of Budapest Vasas technical staff after having been in charge of KSI waterpolo academy for years.  Szedlmayer is also committed to the development of waterpolo in the world: after the clinic, she asked us to share her presentation “From throwing to shooting” on our official website. Waterpolo Development can only be grateful to her for this contribution, aiming at helping coaches in the development of one of the most important skills for contemporary waterpolo player.
