Water Polo is so named because of its likeness to normal polo and the fact that it is played in water. In reality, it is more similar to Rugby but "water rugby" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

11 is not too old to play water polo! Depending on your area, there may not even be many opportunities for younger kids to play. Many athletes begin their water polo careers as they enter high school because this is their first opportunity to play. Look for club teams in your area and see if they offer programs for your age group. Good luck!
Polo is played on a field while on horseback with the player hitting the ball with a polo mallet in order for it to get into the goal, whereas in water polo it is played in the water and it has more of a resemblance to netball, except you are only allowed to catch with one hand. hope this helped!
