Is Water Polo Right For ME?

Question

My friends want me to join water polo, they say its realy fun and is good excersice, but im not sure if its my sport! I want to know if its an agresive sport like football or wresling, or if its a lesser kind of aggressive like basketball or soocer. Im not an aggresive person so if it is an aggressive sport then its not for me. Im a Freshman BTW. And a summery of what the sport is about would be helpfull too. Thanks!

Answer 1

i dont think so, unless you are up for some SERIOUS training

Answer 2

Well as an overview, 2 teams of 7 players in a swimming pool score goals by throwing a ball past a goalkeeper.

The pool is usually about 10 feet deep, and the players have to tread water the whole time (about an hour in the Olympics). And you're treading water while another guy is trying to push you underwater or is kicking you. While all that is happening, you're trying to get your head and chest out of the water so that you can get a good shot. It's a pretty physical game.

So, if you're not up for a lot of pool time and lots of water treading, probably not the sport for you, but that's your call.

Good luck with whatever decision you make. : ]
