Waterpolo

Waterpolo is a competitive team sport played between 2 teams, with 6 players and 1 goalkeeper on each team. Teams attempt to score goals by throwing the ball into the opposing team's goal. Integrating the concept of swimming and hand ball, waterpolo is a thrilling yet challenging sport. To achieve the objective of scoring more goals than the opponent, Waterpolo requires unconventional skills like swimming, treading water, single-handed passing, shooting, all whilst applying strategies taught.

Waterpolo pushes us to our limit both physically and mentally, thus building resilience. Its fast-paced nature builds necessary hand-eye coordination, and teaches us to anticipate and react fast to constant switching from attack to defence. Aside from skills, we hope to develop interpersonal skills in you, such as teamwork, sportsmanship as well as leadership. Not to forget, you can look forward to forging strong friendships with your teammates as you overcome challenges together. Join the waterpolo family and make waterpolo your #whyhc!

For girls, if you lack experience, fret not! Your passion to learn this new sport will do the job. The stamina and technical skills required can be developed during CCA, with the guidance of our experienced coaches and dedicated teachers-in-charge, who build our endurance through swim sets, teach us the techniques required, and advise us on life outside the pool as well.
