I just started a high school water polo team in Virginia and my students have never seen the game before. I'm going to show them this clip tomorrow. Thanks!
Emilio Lazaro just cause you are tall doesn't mean you are good in my high school team this freshman is 5'4 and on var and we are a really good team we usually win cif although being tall is good
Yung Lean, ayyy! I'm a highschool freshman who's 5' 4"! Lmao. Except I'm a fat lard! Lol. I'd never make it in varsity anything, especially not water polo! Looks fun tho and I love swimming.
@@Physicsengineering2 Haha dang I never realized people replied to this comment. Definitely a bad take on my part, but always love seeing people enjoying this sport.
This is a good first guide and puts some of the skills we are practicing into context. I am setting up a team in Shropshire at the moment - are there any other teams out there who would like to set up "friendlies"? We would love to play other teams in our position.
waterpolo is far most the hardest sport you will ever play. The coaches dump you in the water for an hour straight and you cant touch the bottom or else you will get banned for the next 2 games. People will punch you in the face and the refs literally dont care. They put ur hand on your shoulder and try to drown you. You have to swim all the time without stopping, and all while trying to catch a ban with only one hand. Its so mentally intense the players often have panic attacks. But otherwise its an awesome sport and im 13 and i play with the 15 year olds. They arent afraid to grab your bathing suit and rip it down to ur waist. Its not unfair, its just the game
I heard someone talking about water polo and I had no clue. I had all these images in my head of horses, mallets, and water. I couldn’t figure it out. The minute they said it’s like soccer in the water. It all made sense! LMAO.
If you get fouled inside five meters you have to pass the ball and you can't shoot immediately, but if you get fouled outside five meters you have to either immediately shoot or pass the ball. I think that this is the part of the game where people get confused since they dont know why the guy didn't shoot when he is right in front of the goal.
Hi. I'm a sophomore in highschool that is considering joining water polo. I have an athletic background, but have never really done sports. Idk if I should do it bc I'm kinda skinny too. Is it possible to have the wrong body type for this sport? Please help, thanks.
I'm a waterpolo player in my high school and my team has quite a few small people as in they're really short and thin, honestly if you play waterpolo itll help you build the muscles you need for it
how deep is the pool? I swim in a 6ft deep lane. I cannot think of this pool being 7 ft deep but it would have to be so if someone was over 6 ft tall he could stand up. I am five feet eight so I would have to tread water all the time
😂 I played this game during my school day's.. the swimming club was part of the secondary school cocuricular activities in the 60's till end of 90's.. but 😢😢Sadly.. it been scrub off due to many issues n restructured policies 😢😢...nowadays. . The kids don't have the chance to enjoy the game.. n swimming anymore 😢😢
just signed up for this without thinking...this is going to kill me
Olive Garden oh my god same

I watch olympic water polo and im like ok. but when i play with my swim team you just drown people for the ball, it is very hectic
i always thought water polo was old ladies dancing in the water lmaoo

I hate these bots like no I’m not signing up for your scam
i'm so pumped i'm joining my schools waterpolo team as a freshman and it's my first year, but i've swam off and on for 8 years
ameliarose13 its a goodsport and remember doubt is your only enemy. Doubting my self in freshman year really limited my potential but now im good
Thank you so much!!! I'm using this for a presentation for my school!!!
step one: learn to swim
Lol
mhm yes indeed
If you can swim for long periods of time, and have good hand eye coordination, you should be good to go

I just told my head swim coach I wanted to play a few weeks ago😂 he walked up to me yesterday and said he wanted to start getting me ready
I just sign up to do the tryouts for water polo and I don’t even know how to swim 😂😂😂

Water Polo can justify investing in swimming pools and
Adding better equipped dressing and workout spaces. GO WATER POLO !

What about the height? Do you need to have a certain height or it just doesn't really matter?
GreenNastyRabbit doesnt matter
It is Handball in the water.
Exactly
If I ever do this I would drown
if you practice you won't drown

How deep is the pool usually?
2-3 meters
iiMayhem 6 feet is the rules for high school but some school are exceptions
i have played many matches at different schools and each pool was 7 feet or more
luca constantino same i belive the minimum is six though some schools aren't though as they use public pools
I'm here for my Report 😂

You're right. Water polo is more entertaining.
And harder
Must have strong lungs then have chance
Are the goalies on some kind of platform, cause how do they reach high for saves? Sorry if this sounds dumb

Use those chicken legs
No platform.👌 You need to stay afloat and block those balls on your own.😅
