What is water polo?
Ready for some real water action and fun? The water polo competition is going to be a blast! With players from all over the world a tough competition is guaranteed. The goal for both teams is to get the ball into the opposing goal at the end of the pool. Aside from stamina, speed and the right stroke, team play is crucial in the team's success.
The match structure is very simple. All teams play in a large "Open division" and every team can consist of men and women. A women's division will be formed with at least three women-only teams.
Swim caps to identify the teams will be provided; all other swimming equipment must be brought along.
The tournament guarantees suspense and fun!
