The basics of water polo are simple - to score more goals than your opponents. But how much do you know about the game?

How many players are on a team and what position do they play? What are the names for different passes and shots? How and when are they employed? How many referees are there and what constitutes a foul?

A quick read of our concise Water Polo Dictionary and you'll be good to go.

So man-up (a water polo pun!) and get reading!

Simply click on the drop down menu, choose your word, and a definition will appear below.
