    Water polo originated in England and Scotland in the 1850s as a form of rugby played in rivers and lakes. Over time, it came to be called water polo based on the word "pulu" from the Tibetan language of Kashmir which means ball. Early versions of the game allowed holding opponents underwater to recover the ball. Today, rules are set by governing bodies and games consist of seven players per team, typically playing four periods. Famous water polo player Sean Paul played for Jamaica's national team from age 13 to 21 before pursuing a music career.

    WATERPOLO

    The water football


    The water rugby is the first name of this sport .The
    water rugby was cr.eated by William WILSON. The game
    originated as a form of rugby football played in rivers and
    lakes in England and Scotland with a ball constructed of
    Indian rubber, probably from the 1850s onwards. This
    ‘water rugby’ came to be called ‘water polo’ based on the
    English pronunciation of the Balti (Tibetan language of
    Kashmir) word pulu, which means ‘ball’.

    THE WATER RUGBY HISTORY


     Early play allowed brute strength, wrestling and holding
    opposing players underwater to recover the ball; the
    goalie stood outside the playing area and defended the
    goal by jumping in on any opponent attempting to score
    by placing the ball on the deck.
     In the first edition (1893) of their book ‘Swimming’,
    Archibald Sinclair and William Henry state "On May 12,
    1870, a committee was appointed by the Swimming
    Association, then known as the London Swimming
    Association, to draw up a code of rules for the
    management of the game of ‘football in the water.
     The rules of water polo are the rules and regulations which cover the play,
    procedure, equipment and officiating of water polo. These rules are similar
    throughout the world, although slight variations do occur regionally and
    depending on the governing body. Governing bodies of water polo include 
    FINA, the international governing organization for the rules; the NCAA,
    which govern the rules for collegiate matches in the United States; the 
    NFHS, which govern the rules in high schools in the USA; and the IOC,
    which govern the rules at Olympic events.

    THE RULES
     Senior games consist of seven players from each team (six field players and
    a goalkeeper) that are allowed in the playing area of the pool during
    gameplay 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 particularly violent 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,
    besides the culprit being ejected [ i.e. they must leave the pool area and
    not return]. 

    THE NUMBER OF PLAYERS


     The two opposing teams must wear caps which contrast:
     RED CAP :Goalkeeper
     White cap: The home team
     Blue Cap : The attacking team

    CAPS
     The game is divided into
    four periods; the length
    depends on the level of
    play. There is no overtime
    in international water polo,
    and games proceed to a
    shootout if a victor is
    required. 

    DURATION OF TIME
     Paul is a Grammy award-winning artist that
    collaborated with other successful artists such as
    Beyonce, Sia and Rihanna. Sean Paul Ryan Francis
    Henriques was born in 1973 in Kingstone, Jamaica. His
    family has a history of both art and aquatic sports.
     Sean Paul himself played the sport for the national
    water polo team of Jamaica from the age of 13 until
    the age of 21. In 1989 and 1991 Paul played water polo
    for the Jamaican national team at CARIFTA games
