Bóng nước được chơi chơi một cái hồ sâu 1.8 mét, dài 30 mét và rộng 20 mét, với khung thành cao 3 mét và cao hơn mặt nước ít nhất là 0.9 mét. Khung thành được đánh dấu bằng các cột dọc, một xà ngang và một tấm lưới.

Mỗi đội có 7 cầu thủ, 6 tay bơi và 1 thủ môn. Đội chủ nhà đội mũ trắng, đội khách đội mũ xanh còn thủ môn đội mũ đỏ với số 1 màu trắng.

Giống như bóng đá, trò chơi bắt đầu với quả bóng giữa hồ và cả hai đội lao ra tranh bóng từ vạch gôn của họ. Quả bóng được đưa tới trước bằng cách chuyền một tay hoặc bơi với đầu nổi trên mặt nước và bóng ở giữa hai cánh tay vì thế bóng lướt đi trên gợn sóng do đầu của cầu thủ tạo ra. Ngoại trừ thủ môn, không cầu thủ nào được quyền giữ bóng bằng hai tay.

Các cầu thủ hậu vệ không được phép ngăn cản đối phương di chuyển trừ khi cầu thủ kia đang giữ bóng. Những lỗi nghiêm trọng sẽ bị một quả phạt trong vòng một phút ở vòng cấm địa và cầu thủ nào phạm 5 lỗi sẽ bị truất quyền thi đấu.

Đối với những lỗi nhỏ, chẳng hạn như giữ hoặc đấm bóng sẽ được hưởng một cú ném bóng tại điểm phạm lỗi. Phải có ít nhất hai cầu thủ chạm bóng sau cú ném đó thì bàn thắng mới được tính. 

Trận đấu được chia làm 4 hiệp, mỗi hiệp từ 5 đến 8 phút. Sau tỉ số hòa, có hai hiệp phụ, mỗi hiệp phụ dài 3 phút. Nếu trận đấu vẫn hòa sau hai hiệp phụ, hai đội sẽ tiếp tục chơi 3 phút nữa cho đến khi có quyết định của trọng tài.

Water sports are as challenging as they are fun. Although water sports are not as popular as basketball or football, activities such as parasailing, water skiing, water polo, wakeboarding, jet skiing and competitive swimming interest many people. Ail water sports have an element of danger involved, which is why it is important to follow these safety tips before you dive in.

Step 1: Learn how to swim. Sure, it seems obvious, but it is also extremely important. Do not even think about skiing, tubing, wakeboarding or water polo if you cannot stay afloat in water deeper than your height.

Step 2: Check your equipment and your life safety tools. Count your life vests and have floatation devices nearby. If you are engaging in a sport that requires a lot of equipment, such as wakeboarding, go over every piece to ensure proper functioning.

  • Câu 1: Exercise 1: Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer. There is very little documentation about the origins of water polo. It is known, however, that the sport originated in the rivers and lakes of mid-19th century England as an aquatic version of rugby. Early games used an inflated rubber ball that came from India known as a "pulu" (the single Indian word for all "balls"). Pronounced "polo" by the English, both the game and the ball became known as "water polo." To attract more spectators to swimming exhibitions, the London Swimming Association designed a set of water polo rules for indoor swimming pools in 1870. At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool with both hands. A favorite trick of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water, they would then appear again as close to the goal as possible. The introduction of the rules by Scottish players changed the nature of water polo. It became a game that emphasized swimming, speed and passing. Scottish rules moved from a rugby variant to a soccer style of play. Goals became a cage of 10x 3 feet and a goal could be scored by being thrown. Players could only be tackled when they "held" the ball and the ball could no longer be taken under water. The small rubber ball was replaced by a leather soccer ball. If the player came up too near the goal, he was promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck. Games were often nothing more than gang fights in the water as players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that usually ended with one man floating to the surface unconscious. Water polo was first played in the USA in 1888. The game featured the old rugby style of play which resembled American football in the water. "American style" water polo became very popular and by the late 1890's was played in such venues as Madison Square Garden and Boston's Mechanics Hall, attracting 14,000 spectators to national championship games.
