WATER POLO
 |
The new pool hosts our water polo program which began in the Summer 2005/06 season. The program caters for children aged 8 to 17 years, and will incorporate Flippa Ball, Under 14 and Under 17 teams. The program aims to teach children various water polo skills and rules of the game. The water polo program runs alongside with our existing swimming and triathlon programs. |
| A BACKGROUND TO FLIPPA BALL |
Flippa Ball is a modified version of water polo that is suitable for ages 8 - 12 years (Tadpole level of swimming is required). Children will be introduced to the fundamentals of water polo training and games in a fun and safe setting. Some of the modified rules include:
- The players are allowed to catch the ball with two hands, but must throw with one hand.
- No player may tackle another player at any time.
- The ball must always be on the surface of the water.
- The size of the ball is slightly smaller than the standard water polo used.
