May be out of date as of 2006...,
By Hork "Jedi of Polo" (Clovis, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: SportSpectator Water Polo Guide: Basic Waterpolo Rules and Strategies (Pamphlet)
I haven't actually purchased this guide, but I think the idea is a great one! Too many parents just sit and yell at the referee because they have no clue as to what is going on in the game!
Unfortunately, the sample content that is shown at [...] is not in sync with some of the major new rules being incorporated during 2006. You should find out if your son or daughter is playing with the new rules or the old rules this year. If it's the old rules, I'd highly recommend this guide. If it is the new rules, you might want to inquire as to an update from the publisher. New water polo rule changes for 2006 include: * Five meter penalty throw instead of four meter penalty throw * Only allowed one arm up to block shots in the field, with offenders being immediately ejected * Shots that are tipped out of bounds by defensive field players result in a turnover instead of a 2-meter free throw by the offense * Shot clock changed from 35 seconds to 30 seconds * Players fouled outside of five meters can immediately shoot at the goal (changed from being outside of seven meters). Especially this last rule may change much of the strategy of hole play in water polo that is described in this guide. Again... I think this guide is a great idea. I hope the publisher will update their guide with the new rules and offer it here soon.

Too Basic,
This review is from: SportSpectator Water Polo Guide: Basic Waterpolo Rules and Strategies (Pamphlet)
The information provided in this guide is too basic. I expected a more detailed explanation of rules and fouls. More importantly, I needed a chart to explain the official's calls and gestures to indicate those calls.

A great guide!,
By Just Janet (Nor Calif) - See all my reviews
This review is from: SportSpectator Water Polo Guide: Basic Waterpolo Rules and Strategies (Pamphlet)
I've never really understood water polo even though my sons played it in high school. I wish I had had this guide when they were playing so that I could follow all that whistle blowing! And, it would have been a bonus if I'd been able to make an educated observation such as "mark did a great job of setting the hole in the second quarter!" My stock would have gone way up!
