Water Polo rules

The rules of water polo are the rules and regulations which cover the play, procedure, equipment and officiating of water polo. Senior games consist of 7 players from each team (six field players and a goalkeeper). Younger games consist of 6 players (five field players and a goalkeeper). The game has 4 parts, each part lasts for 5 minutes.

If a player commits an exclusion (major) foul, then that team will play with one player fewer until the player is allowed to re-enter (typically 20 seconds). If a player commits a bad act, such as striking a player, then the referee may signal a brutality foul, in which case that team is required to play with one fewer player in the water for 4 minutes. After a bad foul the other team gets a penalty from 5 meters.

Size of the pool is not fixed and can vary between 20×10 and 30×20 meters. Minimum water depth must be least 1.8 meters.
