The first time official matches were played at a major international event was at the 18th FINA World Championship in 2019. For that reason, the aim of this study was to analyse some associated variables with shooting performance in female Beach Water polo. The total sample was composed of 857 shots from the Beach Water Polo Tournament (Gwangju, South Korea). The study was developed with an observational design. The reliability between the two observers was verified using the intra class correlation coefficient, ensuring that in all cases this value was greater than .75. The results show that the most effective shots were those taken after a previous foul, close to the goal, from the left position, with rebound, with a feint movement, directed at the short post. It is also concluded that beach water polo as a much more physically and mentally demanding sport than classic water polo.engCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives LicenseTeam sportAquatic sportsPlaying actionsTechniqueAnalysis of associated variables with shooting performance in Beach Water polojournal article10.1080/24748668.2021.19775591474-8185open access
