Zone Offense 101: Simple Ways to Beat a Zone Defense
July 22, 2026
Session Overview
Max Irving breaks down film from high-level water polo to show how attackers create useful space against 3-4 and 3-4-5 zones. The session emphasizes reading the center and defense before and after receiving the ball, staying wide to remain available, using passes to 2 meters to pull zone defenders deeper, and recognizing when a foul or defensive rotation changes the next decision. Athletes also learn how off-ball movement, double-post actions, and quick re-reads create clearer center-entry and shooting opportunities.
