Best Answer

Water Polo players wear caps that protect their ears from injury if they get hit by a fast ball. The caps also help identify players and teams: The home team wears dark caps, away team wears light caps. Goalkeepers wear red caps. Each player also has a number on their cap to identify them like other sports feature on jerseys.

What is water polo paid with?

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.


What do polo players wear?

The basics are a mallet, a helmet (for you), gloves (usually optional) and comfortable clothes. For your horse you do need to snip the mane, polo wraps for their legs, a saddle, light-weight saddle pad, bridle, and you may want to braid and bind the tail so it doesn't get pulled or caught in something.


Why do water polo players wear suits so low?

To prevent their opponent from grabbing it. The less there is...the lower it is...the harder it is to get a hold of. Suites worn by water polo players are typically (or at least they used to be) made out of a rubberized material (instead of nylon/lycra...like most suits). This makes them slippery and also harder to grab.

How do you impress your water polo coach to give you more playing opportunities?

To be honest, the future of Water Polo does not look good. Each year since 2003, the number of water polo players globally has decreased by an average of 8500. This may be because of the reason that Water Polo is seen as a sport played by "queers", who enjoy wrestling other sopping wet men in thongs. Many ex-water polo players have revealed their fear of returning to public pools because of their scarred past, in which many were abused by fellow players. One water polo player has been labelled as a"perverted rabbit" after brutally "discreetly" abusing all the members on his water polo team.
