A special Water Polo ball, it is approximately the size of a football but has a special coating to allow grip when it is wet.
Other equipment you need are * Swimming Pool: ideally 25m long and at least 2m deep * Caps: A water polo cap is used to protect the players' heads and ears, and to identify them. Home team field players wear numbered dark colored caps, or black caps. And visiting team field players wear White caps. Both starting goalkeepers wear (quartered) red caps, numbered "1" (substitute goalies caps are numbered either "13" or "15") in NCAA play or "13" for FINA international play. Caps are fitted with ear protectors. * Goals: Two goals are needed in order to play water polo. These can either be put on the side of the pool, or in the pool using floaters. * Swimwear: Male water polo players often wear swim briefs. Some players prefer to wear 2 briefs for more security during play. Female players must wear a one-piece swimsuit. Most of these suits do not have straps as normal suits, but are zipper-backed. * Mouthguard: The use of a mouthguard is recommended during to the extreme amount of contact envolved with water polo.
