If you are familiar with European handball, water polo is like handball in the water! If not, it is sort of like a cross between basketball and soccer - in the water. In BCSSA, water polo is played as in co-ed teams. Each team has a minimum of seven players: one goalkeeper plus 3 girls and 3 boys. The objective is to swim and pass the ball into the opponents end, and to score points by throwing into a net defended by a goalie. Water polo is fast paced, exciting, and extremely fun to play! It takes good team skills as well as individual strength and endurance. The Ogopogo water polo program is open to swimmers of all levels and abilities.
