3-0 out of 5 stars Great for Water Polo Newbs
My son recently joined a high school water polo club and has fallen madly in love with the sport. Since we live in a part of the country where water polo is a little known sport (almost anywhere east of California), I found myself lost at games.

I was a little surprized when I received what amounted to a brochure and not a book or booklet. On the up side, it is lamentated (good for a water sport) and easy to take to games. I've shared it with other parents at games and they agree it is helpful to those of us who are water polo newbies. I did find a decrepancy in the meter lines. According to my son's coach, high school club water polo doesn't have to use the lines shown. Our league uses 2-meter, 5-meter and center lines.

SportSpectator lists caps and balls as the only equipment required. I wish they had mentioned mouth guards as an optional equipment item. Water Polo is a full contact sport and blows to the mouth are very common.

5-0 out of 5 stars A welcome aid
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!

5-0 out of 5 stars Better late than never
I attended all of my son's waterpolo matches when he was in high school.I never knew why the whistle was constantly blowing, why playerswere sent to the penalty sideline and most alarmingly, why the referee wasn't calling a foul when it looked as though one player was drowning another from underwater.I wish I had had the SportSpectator Guide to help me understand the concept of strategic fouling and how the whistle blowing signaled the types of fouls (all concisely described in the guide).Having this nifty, easy to carry, easy to read referernce guide to waterpolo would have greatly enhanced my enjoyment as a spectator of the sport.And, even better, it would have given me a quick course in the terms and rules of the game so that I could actually discuss the details of the game with my son. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars A great perspective...
One of the sport's pioneers of starting women's water polo takes us to where he started to the present day, as he recalls his challenges and successes as the sport of not just water polo, but women's water polo grows.I have referred to Chuck Hines as the Johnny Appleseed of water polo.Wherever he went, he planted the seeds of water polo and just watched it grow.And whenever given the opportunity, he promoted the sport for ultimate growth.And its his dedication to his players and the sport of water polo, that has influenced so many lives.He says it is water polo they Y's way, but really, it's water polo the Hines' way.Great lessons scattered throughout and great examples of how one man continued to challenge his players to play at the next level, but also looked to grow the sport, break down the gender barriers, and represent the sport in an area that is not known for water polo.Read on and enjoy.

5-0 out of 5 stars A well-written, entertaining book for anyone who competed in team sports as a kid
"Water Polo the Y's Way" offers readers an inside look at the philosophies, trials and triumphs that shaped Chuck Hines into a championship water polo coach at the local, regional, national and international levels, in a career spanning 50 years. Written in an entertaining, conversational voice, the book will hit the nostalgia button on any adult who played competitive sports as a child, particularly the thousands who competed in YMCA-sponsored athletic programs. Particularly entertaining are the narratives of many of Hines' former players, who -- with perspective provided by adulthood -- reflect on the sheer fun of competition and the lessons they still carry from those experiences. I recommend it highly!

3-0 out of 5 stars Too Basic
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.

3-0 out of 5 stars May be out of date as of 2006...
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.

5-0 out of 5 stars Extremely useful to individual players and to coaches
This is a surprisingly useful and innovative book. Focus is on individual techniques as opposed to team play. That's what makes this such a terrific teaching tool. Clear, well illistrated, and extremely detailed. If you are a player you can improve your game simply by reading it as an individual since it only focuses on team play as it relates to the individuals contribution. It's strictly a how-to guide to improving YOUR play. If you are a coach it's very valuable but somewhat limited in it's scope.
There is very limited discussion of team play, team drills, ect. so this is not a good source for general theory.But as a teaching tool to help individual players learn to improve their technique this book is second to none. Having played for 20 years and coached 12 more at a Division I level I still learned a few things from this book. If I ever go back to coaching I'm going to give a copy to each of my players. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Do the Mud Crab Boogie!
Extreme Water Polo is the water polo of the 90s. And when Les Norton catches the semi-final on TV he is amazed to see that the man behind Extreme Polo is his old mate, Neville `Nizegy' Nixon. So when Neville calls out of the blue and asks Les to drive the Murrumbidgee Mud Crabs up to Sydney for the final, Les takes him on.

But things are never as simple as they seem and Les finds himself drawn into an hilarious adventure involving the Mud Crabs.

4-0 out of 5 stars Les Norton serves up fun!
I was introduced to the Les Norton series written by Robert G Barrett during an Australian visit on the recommendation of a Dymocks Bookstore employee.I think I have every book in the series (some of which came from Australia via Dymocks Bookstore - have online site!).
Les is a rolicking fun bloke who generally brawls, eats and sleeps his way through each adventure.
If you want a bit of Aussie lingo and lifestyle and some good yarns in the process then you won't be disappointed in any of the Les Norton books!Good on ya mate!

5-0 out of 5 stars Boogie Funny
I had never read or heard of Robert Barrett before hearing Mud Crab Boogie on CD.It kept me smiling for miles.The plot unwinds in such a humerous way and there are so many twists that your attention is held all the way through the book.The narrator is so easy to listen.I thoroughly enjoyed the hours I spent with "Les Norton". ...

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Wang Yang (born 17 January 1983 in Shenyang, Liaoning) is a male Chinese water polo player who was part of the bronze medal winning team at the 2005 National Games. He will compete at the 2008 Summer Olympics.Water polo is a team water sport. The playing team consists of six field players and one goalkeeper. The winner of the game is the team that scores the most goals by getting the ball past the opposing team's goalkeeper into the net. Gameplay involves swimming, players passing the ball while being defended by opponents, and scoring by throwing into a net defended by a goalie. Water polo, therefore, has strong similarities to the land-based game of team handball. The frequency of 'man-up' (or 'power play') situations also draws comparisons with Ice hockey. ... Read more
