The shape

The Arc (umbrella) sets out one in goalkeeper, 5 in perimeter and one in centre. The diagram shows where each position starts, on a 25 m by 20 m water polo pool drawn to scale with your own end at the top. Use it as the starting picture for your team sheet, then adjust the depth of each line to the players you have and the opponent in front of you.

Pick the shape, drag your players onto it and share the team sheet with parents before the game. The Vanta Club app is free.
