Should you wear a cup for water polo?

Yes, I am a diver and believe me YOU NEED A CUP. Especially if you are a beginner you are going to need protection for your testicles. The best way to wear it is if you wear a speedo wear two speedos and put the cup inbetween. If you wear a jammer, first put on a speedo, then put on a jockstrap and put the cup inbetween. Then just put your jammer on over it. If you really don't care what you look like than put on compression shorts then a cup the the jammer and on the outside put on a jockstrap. The cup that I like best is the Nutty Buddy it protects and supports your balls.

What are the rules for paralympic water polo?

Water polo is sort of like hand ball, in the water (without touching the ground), and alot more aggressive...

The first thing you need to know is that you can only ever touch the ball with one hand. You can use either hand, but only one at a time. The game consists of 4 quarters, each aroun 6-8 minutes long, depending on the league.

The game starts with a swim off. All the players from each team (on opposite ends of the pool) have to be touching the wall, and when the ref blows the whistle, they drop the ball in the middle of the pool and both teams swim to get it. The play goes on from here.

The point of the game is, obviously, to score on the other team's net. It is legal for a player to do whatever they want to you (this is where it gets aggressive) while you have the ball, but as soon as you drop it (this is a foul), they aren't allowed.

those are the very basic rules...It's a very fun sport, and i would suggest it to any strong-ish swimmers looking for an exciting sport :)

How do you impress your water polo coach to give you more playing opportunities?

To be honest, the future of Water Polo does not look good. Each year since 2003, the number of water polo players globally has decreased by an average of 8500. This may be because of the reason that Water Polo is seen as a sport played by "queers", who enjoy wrestling other sopping wet men in thongs. Many ex-water polo players have revealed their fear of returning to public pools because of their scarred past, in which many were abused by fellow players. One water polo player has been labelled as a"perverted rabbit" after brutally "discreetly" abusing all the members on his water polo team.
