The 6-8 Sports Coaching Education Program is designed to make high quality water polo resources available to any coach (or potential coach) regardless of circumstance.
The 6-8 System is based on a ‘Fundamentals First’ philosophy. The program is divided into four main categories: Crawl, Walk, Run & Sprint. Each of these categories is designed for a certain age group or level. We suggest ages for each category, but it’s important to understand that age is less important than level. If a 16 year old athlete is just starting out in the sport, he/ she will need to start with the Crawl content and only progress once all of the basics in each category have been mastered (in order). In addition, at 6-8 Sports, we believe even the best athletes need to focus on the fundamentals. Advanced athletes also need to work in the crawl/ walk phases (at least at the beginning of training) to keep developing their fundamentals everyday.
Each category has 21 chapters, composed of a video introduction, written explanation and a suggestion of training videos to watch and follow. All of the videos listed can be found on the 6-8 Sports mobile app, listed by the category name and chapter (ex: Crawl- Chapter 1). You can search for “6-8 Sports” in the iTunes or Android app stores. To access the videos, you need to subscribe to our $3.99/ month plan.
We believe every athlete has a unique voice and “earns their number” in a different way. As a coach, we can provide you with the tools you need to help each athlete reach their goals. Welcome to the 6-8 team and we hope you enjoy the journey.
“If the opportunity is given to people they will learn and produce.”
