Abstract
Water polo requires a series of technical and tactical foundations and a framework of psycho-social qualities and physical fitness, with players gradually acquiring these attributes as they get older. Learning methods are critical to the teaching of sports. In addition, water polo is played in water, which is not the natural environment for human beings, a fact that makes it unique among team sports. In our discipline, there are few published references on how to carry out this process, and we believe that it is necessary to pose questions not only of what to teach, but of when and how to teach it.Our objective is to develop a program that details the educational approach to be followed at the various stages of the teaching of water polo, one that bears in mind the objectives and contents that must be learned in each category.
