Water Polo is a ball sport being played in the water, usually in a pool. The ball is being thrown into a smaller version of a Soccer goal to score points. One point is awarded for every goal.
- Although the sport is a very physical game, it is an intellectual game as well. Like football, water polo also uses various plays and strategic moves to move the ball down the field and into the goal. A commonly used move is a semi-circle (often called a mushroom or umbrella for younger players) to attack.
There can be 6 players in the water at one time, with 1 of them being a goalie.
There are 4 quarters in a game, the time limit per quarter varies with your league. If there is a tie game, the match will proceed into overtime, which can either be 2 three minute quarters, sudden death, or a shoot out.
Water Polo is a team sport that is played in a swimming pool. It is far more intense than football.

(since it's a sport aka game, water polo doesn't "do" anything, but the players do play to win the game. See reference link at bottom of this page to Wikipedia article for more info)
