WATER POLO THE FOLLOWING RULES ARE FROM WP 1 (FINA.ORG) HISTORY OF WATER POLO HISTORY OF WATER POLO – THE BEGINNING | FINA LEARNING PLATFORM • The history of water-polo extends back to the Victorian English society, as a by-product of the industrial revolution and love of sport. In the mid of the 1870’s, the English were moving in towns due to the rapid industrialization, while the construction of baths allowed them “to get washed” and “to learn swimming”. This new game was called “football in the water”. • In 1877, William Wilson, drew up a set of rules for “aquatic football” aiming to amuse the spectators during the annual competitions in the River Dee. • At that time “aquatic football” had to be placed with the hands at a set point, Wilson decided to put goals-posts (similar to those used in football) into the water, thus allowing players to be able to throw the ball inside. The new sport was so successful that the London swimming association entrusted a commission with the task of drafting a specific regulation. • Water polo was an exclusively male competition and was a demonstration of crude strength and swimming skill. • In 1900, men’s water polo made its first appearance at the Olympic games in Paris, (the second edition of the Olympics). • Women’s water Polo became an Summer Olympic sport in 2000 Sydney Olympics. BASIC RULES OF WATER POLO VIDEO • BASIC RULES OF WATER POLO BASIC SKILLS EGGBEATER - BING VIDEOS THROWING, CATCHING, SHOOTING - BING VIDEOS SWIMMING WITH THE BALL - BING VIDEOS THE TEAM • Water polo is an extremely fierce, competitive and demanding game • Each team is made up of 13 players and due to the intense nature of the game, regular substitutions are common. • Seven players from each team are in the pool at any one time. THE POOL SET UP • The dimensions for games should be 25 metres from goal line to goal line in length by 20 metres wide. • The depth is ideally 1.8 metres or more. ATTACKING TEAM/ DEFENDING TEAM • The attacking team is the team that has the ball and is trying to score. • The defending team tries to stop an attack and to get the ball so that they can become attackers. • HOW TO PLAY WATER POLO, POSITIO NS, BASIC RULES, AND BAD HABITS TO AVOID - YOUTUBE DURATION OF A GAME • WP 12.1 The duration of the game shall be four periods each of eight minutes actual play.
