This is one of those sports that many people know about and have seen on television, but have rarely had the opportunity to play. Waterpolo is a team sport, which is often called a combination of swimming, soccer, basketball, ice hockey and wrestling. Teams consist of six players and a goalkeeper. The aim of the game is simple, score more goals than your opponent does. The sport originated in the late 1800s, in the United Kingdom, and is now popular with men and women in many countries. It was also the first men’s team game in the 1900 Olympics, but women had to wait 100 years before being allowed to play it in the Olympics. It’s a fairly inexpensive game to play once you have the body of water, as all you need are goggles, nets a bathing suit and a ball.
