Greetings WP Exchange!
Launching a new Water Polo training product here today, with the hopes of getting thoughts, feedback, and gauging interest! The Big Block 1 is designed to mimic a stationary shot blocker, giving athletes a new way to train their shooting skills and get more game realistic reps. I’ve designed, prototyped, and tested multiple versions of this blocker with the hopes of making a product that can help athletes get better everyday.

How to use the Blocker:
The Blocker is best suited to help improve position specific shooting, especially 6v5, where athletes can practice beating the block while training alone or in small groups. Athletes can use the blocker to work on wrap shots, over the head releases, zone shooting reps, or as a stand-in goalie.
Blocker Specs:
The blocker is made out of a buoyant EVA Foam, which is impact resistant and water safe. The blocking arm is adjustable, allowing athletes to train multiple different shot release points. The blocker remains stationary with two length-adjustable anchors that sit on the bottom of the pool preventing rotation as well. The blocker supports a two arm assembly that can act as a stand-in goalie.
