- is intended to take a “deep dive” into each of the various aspects of playing UWH and what coaches can do to help players develop the skills.
- provides reference materials for players and coaches, but is not intended to be a direct pool-side resource.

- Gear/Setup (gloves, sticks, pucks, goals, walls)
