Water polo is an extremely fierce, competitive and tiring game played over four, eight minute periods. Each team is made up of 13 players and due to the intense nature of the game, regular substitutions are common. Seven players from each team are in the pool at any one time. Each team has 6 players plus a goalie in the water. Only the goalie may touch the ball with both hands. This is a co-ed sport: you must have a minimum of three boys/girls in the water at all times.
