Water polo is a team water sport, which can be best described as a combination of swimming, football (soccer), basketball, ice hockey, rugby and wrestling. A team consists of six field players and one goalkeeper. The goal of the game resembles that of football/soccer—to score as many goals as possible, each goal being worth one point.
A perfect water polo athlete can be best described as having the over-arm accuracy of a baseball pitcher, the vertical of a volleyball player, the toughness of a hockey player, the endurance of a cross-country skier and the strategy of a chess player. Of course, to find a player of this ability is difficult.

kind of like soccer. there are two goals and someone guarding each one. you have some people out on the "field" that carry the ball around and stuff. its basically the same as soccer cept its in water and you use your hands.
woot. two more points.

two teams try to put a ball in a net. they play in a pool. there is a goaly and other positions. the net is floating on the water and is about the size of a hockey net.
