Our goal

Teach the theoretical-practical base necessary to all water polo coaches to benefit the development and performance of athletes. We focus our efforts on countries with a lack of regulated education for coaches. 

After laying the foundations, our objective is to keep educating coaches by introducing new concepts and knowledge for the development and technification of the sport in the area.
