Water polo is a team Water Sport in which each  team consists of six field players and one goalkeeper. Which kinda like soccer but is done on water.  The winner of the game is the team that scores the most goals.

The Basic Skills needed to play Water Polo:

• Swimming – this is a requirement since Water Polo is played in the water. As Field players must swim end to end of a 30-meter pool non-stop many times during a game.

• Ball – Handling Skill – Must have the ability to catch and throw the ball with either your left or right hand and can also catch the ball from any direction.

• Treading Water or “Egg beating” – The most common form of water treading is generally referred to as “egg-beating”, named because the circular movement of the legs resembles the motion of an egg-beater.

• Reflex and Awareness – At higher levels of the sport the pace of play rapidly increases, so that anticipation and mental preparation is important. “Field sense” (i.e. staying aware of the surroundings) is a major advantage in scoring, even if a player lacks the speed of an opponent.
