Combine some of the rules for Soccer with Ice Hockey; add a few of the ball handling skills from Rugby and Basketball and then play the game in a pool of water that’s over your head … that’s Water Polo!!! Together with the International School of Beijing and Coach Shane Lawson, Sports Beijng is very pleased to be able to offer another season of community water polo. Water Polo is an exciting sport that combines swimming ability, strength, finesse and team tactics to move a ball across a swimming pool and into a goal. Practice and game sessions will be supervised and led by Shane Lawson, a qualified swimming coach and water polo player. Parents with experience playing water polo are invited to help. The Water Polo program is open to girls and boys aged 10 to 17 years old that already have good swimming skills and are very comfortable in a deepwater pool. Players will be grouped according to age and ability. Each session will be divided into about 30 minutes of skills development and conditioning and 45 minutes of competition. If you are already a good swimmer or a member of a swim team and want to test and improve your strength and stamina in the water while having a lot more fun than just swimming repetitive laps, then take the plunge and try Water Polo!!!
