The ball used in matches features a textured rubber surface designed to maintain a firm grip even when completely wet.

Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Water Polo

Why do water polo players wear special caps with plastic covers over their ears?
The plastic ear guards protect the players' ears from painful water pressure changes and accidental bumps from hands or the ball during matches.
Do water polo players touch the bottom of the pool during a game?
In official matches, players are not allowed to touch the pool floor or sides. They use a continuous kicking technique called the eggbeater kick to stay afloat and stay high in the water.
Why is a water polo ball yellow?
Bright yellow rubber makes the ball easy for players, referees, and spectators to spot against the blue pool water and moving splashes.
