Sports dimension guides

Water polo

Water polo is a team water sport, which can be best described as a combination of swimming, rugby and wrestling. Players swim the equivalent of up to 5km in a single game. To score, players throw the ball into the opponent’s goal which floats on the water. Apart from the goalkeeper, who is allowed to touch the bottom of the pool in the goalkeeper’s area, players cannot touch the bottom of the pool in any active part of the game. Each game is played over four eight-minute periods.

Polocrosse

Polocrosse is a combination of polo, lacrosse and netball. It is played on horseback. Each rider uses a cane stick ─ made up of a polo stick shaft to which a squash racquet-type head with a loose twisted-thread net is attached ─ in which the ball is carried.

Canoe Polo

Canoe polo is a competitive ball game between two teams of five players each. Players paddle solo kayaks on a well-defined area of water, attempting to score goals against the opposition. The team that scores the most goals wins.
