Center Forward (CF) is the most important attacking position within Water Polo. If a team has a capable CF not only does it create high-percentage scoring opportunities from the CF, it also allows more space for the other attacking players on the outside as they have more room to pass, move and shoot. A strong CF also creates more extra-man opportunities as most exclusions come from the position.

This makes the development of CFs within ACT essential for the advancement of our teams within the community.

The program will be for our current ACT representative CFs who will be invited to these sessions.

This program will consist of 5 sessions over 5 different weeks

Week 1: 11th August

Week 2: 18th August

Week 3: 25th August

Week 4: 8th September

Week 5: 15th September

The aim of these sessions is to build an understanding of the CF position and also enhance the skills and more intricate parts of the position. This will include training of CF shooting/shot types, ball skills on the water (passing), turning, wrestling/grappling, positioning, post shots/positioning, movement, CB defence, and leg training (movement, med-ball, contact). Players will also have the added benefit of shot testing, video analysis and individualised feedback to create a unique development environment.

The program will be directed by Matt Wilson, a current Aussie Sharks member, who has played professionally overseas in the Spanish and Greek 1st Division, two of the world's top water polo leagues.

The program cost is $75 + GST
